Hormone Balance

The dance of progesterone and estrogen balance in a woman’s body is very important. Progesterone acts to balance excess estrogen thus preventing estrogen from becoming harmful to health, a condition known as estrogen dominance. At different times in the like of a women, hormonal imbalance can result in symptoms of PMS, perimenopause, or menopause. Symptoms of progesterone imbalance include moodiness, hot flashes, night sweats, depression, weight gain, bloating, and breast tenderness.

In the right amount, progesterone can:

Have a calming effect
Enhance moods
Regulate fluid balance
Normalize sleep
Increase sex drive
Help use fat for energy
Stabilize blood sugar, thyroid function, and mineral balance
Decrease risk of endometrial cancer
Help protect against breast cancer, fibrocystic breasts, and osteoporosis

Self-Care

Self-care, including exercise and a healthy diet, is an important foundation for hormone balance. Natural progesterone cream is specially formulated to help support a healthy hormone balance.

NOTE: It is important for you to know that some research suggests progesterone might stimulate fibroid growth. If a tumor is large and mature and has not responded to estrogen control, progesterone could be feeding it. This is only a theory though, and we tend to agree with other health experts who feel progesterone acts to mediate estrogen and regulates its effects during the menstrual cycle, and does not contribute to fibroid growth. If your fibroid is large and mature, you may consider NOT using a progesterone cream just to be safe. Please speak with your health care provider about this decision.
