Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, I received a prescription for a compounded capsule containing DHEA 10 mg and Pregnenolone 50 mg. Soon after, the patient called with a thoughtful question:

“Hi, I’ve taken DHEA before, but I’ve never seen it combined with Pregnenolone. What’s the benefit of having them together?”

I was glad she asked. “That’s a great question! DHEA and Pregnenolone are both precursors in your body’s hormone pathway—they help support the production of other hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. When combined, they offer a more complete and balanced approach to hormone therapy—especially for patients dealing with fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, or aging-related symptoms.”

She asked, “So why not just take one or the other?”

“Sometimes patients need support in more than one area,” I explained.
✔ Pregnenolone is especially known for its role in memory, focus, and adrenal function, while
✔ DHEA is often used to support energy, metabolism, libido, and mood.

“When your provider prescribes both in one customized capsule, it ensures the right balance for your body, without having to take two different supplements.”

She said, “I’ve seen them at the health store—why would I need this one compounded?”

“That’s an important distinction,” I said. “Over-the-counter versions are usually non-standardized, packed with fillers, or the wrong dose. At Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we compound these in precise, pharmaceutical-grade strengths, free from dyes, gluten, and unnecessary ingredients. Plus, your doctor can adjust the dose anytime based on how your labs change.”

She was also happy to hear we provide free delivery, so she wouldn’t run out or have to reorder herself.

Before hanging up, she said, “I never thought of hormone balance this way. Thanks for explaining it so clearly.”

Helping patients understand how personalized hormone therapy works is one of my favorite things about being a compounding pharmacist. These small changes make a big difference in how people feel every day.

Until tomorrow,
