The Protective Effects Of Natural Progesterone

Products

Estrogen and progesterone are to reproductive hormones that are important to be familiar with. While many people have probably heard of estrogen, little is said about progesterone. However, these two hormones go hand in hand and even though your doctor may not mention it to you, natural progesterone can be very beneficial to your health.

These days, most doctors want to replace your hormones with pills that contain estrogen and synthetic progestins. But more and more we are finding out that the estrogen may actually be harmful to us. What you don't hear too much about is that progesterone (the natural kind, not the synthetic kind that's in the pills the doctor wants to give you) can help counter affect some of the harmful problems with too much estrogen.

In fact, when natural progesterone is taken even at levels higher than what the body produces there is no known toxicity or increased risk of disease. Actually, the opposite me be true as there is some evidence to indicate that breast cancer cells which are exposed to progesterone do not multiply as much as those which are not.

Women who are nearing menopause or those who don't always ovulate may not be producing enough progesterone. The body would normally produce it during the last two weeks of the menstrual cycle, however if you are not ovulating correctly your body will not be producing the progesterone and you may end up with excess estrogen, or estrogen dominance in your body.

Another reason for taking natural progesterone is for good bone health.  Bones are made up of two kinds of cells osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The osteoblasts are stimulated by progesterone and are responsible for building new cells, the osteoclasts are stimulated by estrogen and are responsible for disposing of the old bone. Now if your body is making too much estrogen and not enough progesterone you could see how your bones could suffer.

Taking natural progesterone can relieve a slew of symptoms that are related to PMS and menopause and is also said to help normalize blood sugar and menstrual cycle, act as an antidepressant, prevent ovarian cysts, ease hot flashes and suppress headaches.

If you want to use a progesterone supplement, you must be sure to use a natural progesterone. The stuff that the doctor will give you in a pill  is probably synthetic progesterone and this will not help you at all and in fact may cause other health problems. The best way to get your body to absorb progesterone is to buy a natural progesterone cream and rub it in to the thin-skinned areas on your breasts, inside your arms and the palms of your hands.
