Tell California Lawmakers: Hands Off Our Hormones!

Pregnenolone and DHEA are naturally produced hormones. Pregnenolone aids in the development of new brain cells, produces significant improvements in both depression and schizophrenia, and shows promise in mitigating memory loss and even some of the abnormal structures in Alzheimer’s disease. DHEA helps create improvements in muscle strength and bone mineral density, with a reduction in body fat mass, and may help with depression and schizophrenia.

Despite their having been shown to be safe and effective in study after study, California now mandates a warning on both DHEA and pregnenolone saying, in a lengthy text, that exceeding recommended serving may cause “serious adverse health effects” like rapid heartbeat, dizziness, blurred vision, or seizure. Such a warning will scare consumers away from these important supplements. No peer-reviewed studies have ever shown that DHEA or pregnenolone are associated with rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or blurred vision. No published studies have shown any risk of seizure from pregnenolone supplementation unless the patient already had a history of seizures.

I was shocked to learn that California is ignoring decades of scientific research and declaring two helpful hormone supplements to be illegal unless they include a lengthy health warning -- even though the listed side effects have never been established in a study!

Pregnenolone and DHEA are naturally produced hormones. Pregnenolone aids in the development of new brain cells, produces significant improvements in both depression and schizophrenia, and shows promise in mitigating memory loss and even some of the abnormal structures in Alzheimer's disease. DHEA helps create improvements in muscle strength and bone mineral density, with a reduction in body fat mass, and may help with depression and schizophrenia.

Despite decades overwhelmingly positive scientific research (last year alone, 380 new papers were published about DHEA), and despite their having been shown to be both safe and effective in decades of continued use by millions of people, section 110423(b) of the California Health and Safety Code now mandates a warning on both DHEA and pregnenolone saying, in a lengthy text, that exceeding recommended serving may cause "serious adverse health effects" like rapid heartbeat, dizziness, blurred vision, or seizure.

The problem is, NO peer-reviewed studies have ever shown that DHEA or pregnenolone are associated with rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or blurred vision! No published studies have shown any risk of seizure from pregnenolone supplementation unless the patient already had a history of seizures.

Such a warning will scare consumers away from these important supplements. As your constituent, I am asking you to create an exemption in section 110423(b) of the California Health and Safety Code for these particular bioidentical hormones -- DHEA and pregnenolone  because they do not produce the side effects that the warning describes.
