Progesterone itself in the brain also consistently gets shuts off, rendering the oral DHP mostly useless for the brain because the half life is so short and there's insufficient progesterone to make it naturally in the brain. However, it's still good for stimulating it in the blood serum because it can be low there too, unless your serum progesterone is also low. Give it a try and see what happens. Worst it does is nothing.
But surely a stack of 5a-HTP, glycine, and another 5ar boosted should be enough, alongside pregnenolone or progesterone to boost allopregnanolone to sufficient amounts.
