Natural progesterone is produced by the
corpus luteum after ovulation and balances the side
effects of otherwise unopposed oestrogen. Under influences
of anovulatory cycles, menopause stress and dietary
antagonists, progesterone production ceases or is suppressed
and the effects of Oestrogen Dominance, can be observed.
Many women experience otherwise unexplained weight gain
from the lack of progesterone that is required for proper
thyroid function.
It is also important that we distinguish
Natural Progesterone from Yam Extract and from its counterparts
in the drug industry - PROGESTINS.
Although these drugs are commonly referred
to as progesterone, this is a misnomer, they are synthetic.
In some ways they mimic the effects of progesterone
in the body, but in other important ways they gravely
interfere with natural progesterone and can create and
exacerbate hormone related health problems, and be a
primary contributor to the condition referred to as
Oestrogen Dominance, some symptoms of which include:
-

Interference with Thyroid Hormone Activity

When comparing the above list of Oestrogen ill-effects
to the benefits of Natural Progesterone a near one-to-one
correlation is observed.
