When the whole steroid line is running thin, it's sometimes the better place to start than DHEA itself. Apex's liquid delivers 5 mg per 10 drops, which is a quarter to a sixth of the usual capsule dose. Apex formulates it to support energy levels and the adrenals, and notes it may also support brain function, including mild memory loss associated with normal aging. Apex also points out that certain hormones taken as a liquid can avoid the first liver pass, which may reduce their conversion to other hormones.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho I Reach For This With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults with low pregnenolone or low across-the-board steroid labs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe foggy, flat, low-drive pattern in midlife, after labs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who needs to start at 5 mg rather than 25 or 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who prefer drops to capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Form Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe store carries three other pregnenolones at fixed capsule doses: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pregnenolone-30-mg-180-capsules\"\u003ePure 30 mg\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pregnenolone-25-mg\"\u003eDouglas 25 mg\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pregnenolone-25-mg-micronized-form-100-vegetarian-capsules\"\u003eKlaire 25 mg micronized\u003c\/a\u003e.
