Thanks for your valuable responses, I appreciate it. Quite frankly, I haven’t done much digging into progesterone and pregnenolone so I can’t be much of a help there. Thing is, I noticed that the less supplements I take, the better I feel in general.
I’m certain that the countless vits and supplements I’ve used over the years have caused many bodily and chemical imbalances. Bummer!
IMHO, embracing simplicity is the way to go. Yes, there might be some deficiencies here and there that can be remediated through supplementation but that should always be limited and supported with necessary tests.
Currently, my potassium level is high normal so don’t need any supplementation there. Though my sodium is problematic because it’s almost at the highest level. I think this was due to my high intake of Himalayan pink salt, which is so stupid on my part! So I had replaced it with a lower sodium iodized salt that also contains a bit more potassium.
As for nettle root, I’m confused! It has always been touted as a mean to inhibiting SHBG and promote FT. I even recall several T boosters for bodybuilding purposes in which nettle root was among the active ingredients.
Meanwhile, I’ll discontinue ingesting nettle root and do further research to be on the safe side.
