Progesterone

What is Progesterone?
Progesterone is a hormone from a corpus luteum, formed by the cyclical rupture of an ovarian follicle. Progesterone is necessary for proper uterine and breast development and function.

Benefits of Progesterone:
Progesterone plays a role in bone metabolism and could help reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Progesterone has produced changes in breast tissue that have cancer prevention effect.

Synthetic progestins may be useful for endometriosis and menorrhagia (prolonged or profuse menstrual flow) because of their specific effects on progesterone receptors in the brain and on the glandular response of the uterine lining.



How Progesterone Produce:
Progesterone is produced in the female body in the ovaries. Progesterone production is high during the luteal phase (second portion) of the menstrual cycle and low during the follicular phase (first portion), as well as being low before puberty and after menopause.

Warning:
Progesterone is a hormone and, as such, concerns about its inappropriate use have been raised. A physician should be consulted before using Progesterone hormone as a supplement.
The proper amount of progesterone for a woman should be determined in consultation with a doctor. Although progesterone is a natural substance, oral progesterone supplements are available by prescription only. High-dose topical progesterone cream is also treated like a drug and requires a prescription. A few creams containing lower amounts of progesterone are sold without prescription.
