Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 The Benefits of Progesterone Progesterone is produced in the ovaries and to a smaller degree, in the adrenal glands. In the ovaries, it is a precursor to estrogen. In the adrenals, it's a precursor to testosterone. While your body will produce estrogens throughout your lifetime (even if you no longer have your ovaries), progesterone levels will drop below those of men. Progesterone is crucial to our biological balance, well being and overall good health. * Natural anti-depressant * Helps use fat for energy * Aids weight loss naturally * Relieves anxiety * Prevents cyclical migraines * Promotes normal sleep patterns * Facilitates thyroid hormone function * Helps normalize blood sugar levels * Normalizes blood clotting * Calms the nervous system * Helps restore normal libido * Normalizes zinc and copper levels * Natural diuretic * Protects against fibrocystic breasts * Restores proper cell oxygen levels * Prevents endometrial cancer * Helps prevent breast cancer * Stimulates new bone formation * Improves vascular tone * Prevents autoimmune diseases * Increases sensitivity of estrogen receptors * Precursor of corticosteroid biosynthesis * Prevents coronary artery spasm and atherosclerotic plaque Note from Michelle: There are a lot of pretty bad progesterone creams on the market. Some can actually make you feel worse. I only recommend 2 at this writing - both are available in retail and on manufacturers web sites. I do not sell them, however you can find the links at: http://www.MichelleRecommends.com <http://www.MichelleRecommends.com> Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
