The female body is a fluctuation of key hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This fluctuation is a frequent constant in a woman's life. During the child bearing years, which typically occurs between age 12 and age 50, these two hormones perform some sort of cyclical dance, for the first two weeks of the menstrual cycle, estrogen is dominant. During ovulation this changes and then progesterone leads.
Menopause is a time when there is a hormonal shift. Menopause typically commences around age fifty, although its first symptoms may occur in the mid to late forties. Most women experience gradual cycle changes before the period ceases altogether, such as, more or less bleeding and shorter or longer cycles. However in some cases, the menstrual period can stop rather abruptly.
Due to the fluctuation in the hormonal balance, there are symptoms which are experienced - hot flashes, dizziness, heart palpitations, mood swings, depression, and sexual disinterest. Additionally, osteoporosis begins with the hormonal changes of menopause.
With the need to create balance during this time, there is a need for a natural choice - Natural USP Progesterone.
WHAT IS PROGESTERONE? Progesterone is one of the two primary hormones produced in a woman's body. It's more famous counterpart is estrogen. Maintaining adequate levels of progesterone in the body is critical to hormonal balance.
WHAT IS PROGESTERONE'S ROLE IN THE BODY?
Progesterone is made in the ovaries. When a woman's cycle is functioning
correctly, estrogen is the dominant hormone during the first two weeks after the
start of her menstrual cycle. In response to ovulation, estrogen levels drop and
progesterone levels rise and assume the dominance reaching a peak for the final
two weeks of the month. When the progesterone levels drop, the menstrual cycle
begins in about 48 hours. Progesterone is a key component in the ultimate
formation of estrogen and testosterone. Therefore, inadequate progesterone can
result in lower levels of these hormones which have been known to cause stress
and loss of libido, among other physical side effects.
WHO BENEFITS MOST FROM PROGESTERONE THERAPY?
Women of all ages, including those who suffer from PMS problems such as cramps
and water retention, can benefit from progesterone. It can also help those who
suffer from peri-menopause, and post-menopause symptoms such as lost libido,
vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and
uterine fibroid tumors. Some medical researchers also contend that natural
progesterone therapy may reduce the risk of breast cancer and reverse the
effects of osteoporosis.
WHY NOT SUBSTITUTE MEXICAN WILD YAM FOR THE BENEFITS OF PROGESTERONE?
Wild Yams "do not" contain progesterone. Some yams do contain a sapogenin called
diosgenin which was, at one time, thought to be converted by the body to
progesterone, but that has not been substantiated. The herb can be applied to
the skin but purchasers are advised to be wary of any yam cream offered as a
progesterone cream unless the true contents are labeled United States
Pharmacopia (USP) Progesterone.
WHAT IS ESTROGEN DOMINANCE AND WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH PROGESTERONE
THERAPY?
This condition occurs when progesterone levels fail to reach the normal
20-25 mg during the final two weeks of a woman's monthly cycle. As a result,
estrogen is unopposed for the entire month thereby causing unbalanced hormone
ratios. Recently, medical practitioners and researchers of progesterone have
discovered a consistent theme in women's complaints associated with PMS and
menopause. These women experience "estrogen dominance' or too much estrogen, in
relationship to the amount of Progesterone in their bodies.
The following symptoms indicate estrogen dominance: water retention, breast swelling, fibrocystic breasts, PMS, depression, loss of libido, heavy or irregular menses, craving for sweets, weight gain and fat disposition at hips and thighs. It has been discovered that women who experience PMS and unpleasant symptoms of menopause usually have too little progesterone when compared to estrogen.
WHY IS PREMIUM JASON'S "WOMAN WISE" PRO-SOY CREAMS SUPERIOR TO CAPSULES
AND SUPPOSITORIES?
Mother Nature did not intend women to put hormones into their stomachs.
Consequently, about 80% of orally administered progesterone is intercepted by
the liver and passed out of the body unused. Progesterone in suppository form is
also intercepted by the liver and bound up by the wax vehicle. Also,
Progesterone suppositories are not recommended because even though they contain
Progesterone, it's usually in very high dosages which may cause unwanted side
effects. In any case, to avoid an extra burden on the liver, informed women
prefer a cream which is gentle and easy to use.
