Cautions
- Not a testosterone-raising tool: Hunter email (2025-10-28): "It will not raise testosterone, and it will not replace the fundamentals of training, protein intake, walking, sunlight, and sleep hygiene."
- Poor candidates flagged: Hunter email (2025-10-28): "Poor candidates include men who already feel excellent on TRT, men whose pregnenolone is mid to high normal, and anyone who is hoping pregnenolone will raise testosterone or accelerate hypertrophy."
- Headroom warning: Hunter email (2025-10-28): "If your baseline pregnenolone is healthy and you feel great, pushing it higher rarely does much and can even feel edgy."
- Lab-confirmation expected before trial: Hunter email (2025-10-28): "Their labs support the story with low or low-normal pregnenolone and often low DHEA-S and modestly low male progesterone."
- Female route caution — not a progesterone replacement: Taylor (01:38:08.880): "I don't think for a woman that taking pregnenolone would ever replace doing progesterone."
- Upstream-substrate dependency: Trevor (00:45:54.640): "The conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. Without zinc, the chain is broken. You can't do it." Trevor (00:45:51.280): "Zinc, mcolinate, 50 milligrams every day."
- Chronic-stress shunt mechanism: Trevor (00:34:51.520): "endocrinologically it competes with progesterone synthesis. So it shunts pregnenolone."
- Re-test cadence: Hunter email (2025-10-28): "Start low, watch sleep and mood, and retest after a few weeks."

Dr Bachmeyer often distinguishes acute (injury/infection) vs chronic (longevity/maintenance) dosing. Acute_signals + chronic_signals fields surface candidate contexts; full distillation pending Codex pass.
