What every woman needs to know about Natural Progesterone

Written by Jaynne Nicols


Even if a woman has low estrogen levels, she can still be subject torepparttar effects of estrogen dominance if her progesterone levels are extremely low. Dr. John R. Lee

Are you perimenopausal, postmenopausal, or experience PMS? No matter where you are, real USP Progesterone is a necessary, simple and an all-natural treatment that can improve your quality of life especially when you suffer from.....

Progesterone, a highly fat soluble and essential hormone created by our body naturally whenrepparttar 144780 body metabolizesrepparttar 144781 "mother of all hormones," pregnenolone.

Pregnenolone isrepparttar 144782 precursor for corticosterone, testosterone, estrogen progesterone, DHEA, cortisol and aldosterone both in men and in women.

Look atrepparttar 144783 research that was done overrepparttar 144784 years (and is still going on aroundrepparttar 144785 world):

-and many others

The question for both genders is: 'how much progesterone is your body producing to help keep you hormonally balanced.'

The key word here is "balance." As we get older we tend to produce less and less progesterone for a variety of reasons, such as menopause, creating a hormone imbalance that can affect us in many ways.

There is a big difference between pharmacological versud physiological doses of a hormone.

Pharmacological doses are superphysiological that involve taking large quatities of an active ingrediet. These doses exceed level found naturally inrepparttar 144788 human body and promote abnormal actions and imbalances.

Physiological doses are merely a replacement designed not to exceed normal levels.

Inrepparttar 144789 case of pregnenolone, less than 50mg a day may constitue a good physiological dose. In fact many people have obtained excellent resuts with much less (15-20 mg per day).

With DHEA, 25 - 50 mgs are recommend for women; 50 to 100 mgs for men per day. For those taking progesterone, 20 mg a day is sufficient. If you are over 50 years of age, you may require slightly more, while those youngs may require slightly less.

Why do we need to supplement with a hormone?

A rapidly growing cause of progesterone loss is environmental pollutants. Research has proven that this dramatic rise inrepparttar 144790 use of chemicals and pesticides is largely responsible for a critical rise inrepparttar 144791 growing number of illness and disease today. Over 51 chemicals, in fact, have been identified as "hormone disruptors." Approximately 2 billion tons of pesticides as well as billions of tons of industrial chemicals are used annuallyrepparttar 144792 world over.
