Neuro-Steroid Supplementation

Meaning

Neuro-Steroid Supplementation is the clinical or wellness strategy of administering specific steroid hormones, or their immediate precursors, that are synthesized de novo within the central and peripheral nervous systems, aiming to modulate neuronal excitability, mood, cognition, and stress response. These neurosteroids, such as DHEA, allopregnanolone, and pregnenolone, act rapidly and locally within the brain, often independent of classical endocrine feedback loops, to influence neurotransmitter receptors. This targeted approach seeks to enhance neurological and psychological well-being by optimizing the brain’s intrinsic hormonal environment.
