Natural Progesterone and Cellular Imbalance
Many
health practitioners believe that it is an imbalance between two important
hormones, oestrogen and progesterone, that causes the symptoms of PMS
and menopause and accelerated
bone loss after menopause.
If you are suffering from any of these symptoms below these two hormones may not be in balance.
- breast swelling and tenderness
- fatigue
- hot flashes
- night sweats
- mood swings
In the past, many health professionals recommended Oestrogen Replacement Treatment (ERT) or Hormone Replacement Treatment (HRT) to manipulate hormone levels and thus relieve the discomforts of menopause and PMS and help prevent osteoporosis. However; in the mid 1970s, studies linked the use of synthetic oestrogen to uterine cancer. This spurred the use of HRT, which often combines synthetic oestrogen with synthetic progestin, such as Progestin. Studies have indicated that older women who take synthetic hormones are at significantly greater risk for breast cancer and that adding progestins to oestrogen does not reduce risk. Other side effects of synthetic progestin include fluid retention, nausea, insomnia, and depression.
Many women are aware of the draw backs to ERT and HRT and want a natural product that can help their bodies stay in balance. One solution is natural progesterone: a substance that is safe, effective, and easy to use.
