DHEA and Pregnenolone

DHEA and Pregnenolone, categorized under Hormonal health & endocrine support in the Supplements vertical. It is scored on the Vyvata Scoring Framework — an independent 6-dimension rubric applied uniformly to every product Vyvata lists.

56/100 overall — Standard tier (50–69 band). Per-dimension breakdown: Transparency 62, Formulation 60, Manufacturing 60, Sustainability 55, Evidence 50, Safety 50. Scored as of 2026-08-24.

Combination steroid-precursor product stacking DHEA with pregnenolone. DHEA has some RCT signal for adrenal insufficiency and low-DHEA populations (Panjari 2007 for postmenopausal women), while pregnenolone RCTs are mostly null. Stacking two hormone precursors compounds the safety complexity — both can shift the entire steroid hormone axis and should be lab-monitored, especially in men (aromatization to estradiol) and hormone-sensitive-cancer patients. Standard Swanson manufacturing. Would move to Verified 70+ with mandatory lab-monitoring language, contraindications, and per-active dosing disclosure — but the combination itself remains a formulation choice we can't fully endorse for self-administration.

Strongest: Transparency at 62/100 (dose disclosure vs proprietary blends, and honesty of marketing claims) and Formulation at 60/100 (dose adequacy, bioavailability form, and ingredient redundancy). Weakest: Evidence at 50/100 (quality of published RCT support for the active ingredients at the label dose) and Safety at 50/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling). All six dimensions feed the overall Vyvata score; a weakness on any one dimension pulls the overall down proportionally.

No third-party certifications (NSF, USP, ConsumerLab, or equivalent) were on record at the time of scoring. This affects the Manufacturing dimension score. The manufacturer may test internally or have obtained certification more recently — check the current product label for the most up-to-date information.

Would move to Verified 70+ with mandatory lab-monitoring language, contraindications, and per-active dosing disclosure — but the combination itself remains a formulation choice we can't fully endorse for self-administration.

The Vyvata Scoring Framework rates every listed product 0–100 across six dimensions: Evidence, Formulation, Manufacturing, Safety, Transparency, and Sustainability. Tier bands: Elite 85–100 (top-tier evidence + formulation + manufacturing), Verified 70–84 (strong on most dimensions), Standard 50–69 (solid but with weaknesses called out), Rejected 0–49 (specific failures documented). Rejected products remain listed with reasons. Full methodology at https://vyvata.com/pages/methodology.
