Some hormones are precursors/successors to others so it may not be necessary to take all of them; it depends on how well your system is metabolizing. For example, pregnenolone (which is made from cholesterol) is a pro-hormone, because it is a precursor to other hormones, which in turn are precursors to more hormones.

I'm taking currently taking pregnenolone & DHEA for chronic pain. I posted the reasons, source articles, results, etc. here.
