Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is a clinical biomarker on the Hormones panel, reported in ng/dL. Standard reference range: Male 10–200 · Female 10–230 ng/dL. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: Male 63–107 · Female 63–107 ng/dL.
What is Pregnenolone?
Pregnenolone is the primary precursor steroid synthesized from cholesterol; it is converted to progesterone, DHEA, cortisol, and sex steroids and has neurosteroid activity.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (ng/dL) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | Male 10–200 · Female 10–230 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | Male 63–107 · Female 63–107 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Pregnenolone
SomaVue maps every result for Pregnenolone against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
