Hi. I have had low cholesterol for almost 10 years now. I too

have difficulty digesting fats. Cholesterol is needed to

produce bile salts.

I have tried pregnenolone too. First few days it made me feel

wonderful, but then the effect weakened and I needed higher

dosages. Not sure why? Maybe because my thyroid was not working

correctly.

I will try pregnenolone again, maybe this time the effect will

last longer.
