The Functions of Progesterone

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

The medical community has long put the emphasis on dropping estrogen

levels during perimenopause and menopause, without giving much

attention to the many important functions of progesterone. Not just

for immediate symptom relief, but to support long-term wellness.

 

Progesterone is the first hormone to drop signalling the beginning of

the long transition into menopause. A lack of progesterone, not

estrogen, is the cause behind most of your symptoms.

 

Women continue to produce estrogen throughout life, at levels that

approximate 40-60 percent of the amount that they produced in their

twenties. Progesterone production, on the other hand, often drops to

levels lower than in men after menopause.

 

While I do not represent any products (by choice) or profit from any

sales, I do have a favorite progesterone cream that I like to

recommend. The ingredients are all organic and I've personally gotten

outstanding results. You'll find Organic Excellence in some stores

and at: http:/www.organicexcellence.com

 

The functions of progesterone:

 

* Is a precursor of other sex hormones, including estrogen and

testosterone

 

* Maintains secretary endometrium (uterine lining)

 

* Protects against fibrocystic breasts

 

* Is a natural diuretic

 

* Helps use fat for energy

 

* Functions as a natural antidepressant

 

* Helps thyroid hormone action

 

* Normalizes blood clotting

 

* Restores sex drive

 

* Helps normalize blood sugar levels

 

* Normalizes zinc and copper levels

 

* Restores proper cell oxygen levels

 

* Has a thermogenic (temperature-raising) effect

 

* Protects against endometrial cancer

 

* Helps protect against breast cancer

 

* Builds bone and is protective against osteoporosis

 

* Is a precursor of cortisone synthesis by adrenal cortex

 

Whether you're in permimenopause or well into the postmenopause

years, don't underestimate the value of progesterone for long term

health and wellness.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful day,

Michelle
