Progesterone Cream
Progesterone CreamBalances estrogen dominanceProgesterone
is one of two key hormones, the other one is estrogen,
made by the ovaries of menstruating women. Progesterone
is a safe, natural alternative to HRT (hormone
replacement therapy) because its produced by a
womans body during the second half of each monthly
cycle, from ovulation until menses, and is the
dominant hormone during this phase. Progesterone
hormone made at ovulation by the corpus luteum
of the ovary, and in smaller amounts by the adrenal
glands. Progesterone is manufactured in the body
from the steroid hormone pregnenolone.
It plays a very important role in fertility and
reproduction, promoting successful conception
and pregnancy.Role of Progesterone CreamProgesterone
Cream plays a key role in women's menopausal health.
Progesterone is needed in hormone replacement
therapy (HRT) for menopausal women for many reasons.
In a normally cycling female, the corpus luteum
produces 20 to 30 mg of Progesterone daily during
the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
Progesterone
Cream or progesterone-like substances known as
progestogens or progestin's are also ingested
by women in birth control pills, or just sometimes
to induce a menstrual period or regulate abnormal
bleeding problems if menses are skipping or bleeding
is irregular or prolonged. One of its most important
roles is to balance the effects of estrogen. Unrestricted
estrogen creates a strong risk for breast cancer
and reproductive cancers.At menopause estrogen
levels drop only 40-60% and it is just enough
to stop the menstrual cycle. But in some women
Progesterone levels may drop to near zero. Because
Progesterone cream is the precursor to so many
other steroid hormones, its use can greatly enhance
overall hormone balance after menopause. Progesterone
Cream also stimulates bone-building and thus helps
protect against osteoporosis.
What is Progesterone Cream made from?Progesterone
Cream used for hormone replacement is manufactured
in laboratory from plant fats and oils, usually
a substance called diosgenin which is extracted
from a very specific type of wild yam that grows
in Mexico or from soybeans. In the laboratory
diosgenin is chemically synthesized into real
human Progesterone. The other human steroid hormones,
including testosterone, estrogen, Progesterone
and the cortisones are also nearly always synthesized
from diosgenin.
