Why Do I
need a Progesterone Supplement?
If you're approaching
menopause, you may have begun to
experience a
variety of symptoms like hot flashes,
sleeplessness, more intense
PMS, irregular periods, heavy bleeding.
And you may even feel and
act like a bear! All these symptoms are
due to a decline in
progesterone. Eventually, with the onset
of menopause, although
estrogen continues to be stored and
steadily secreted by fat cells,
progesterone generation comes to a
halt—which means you may have
additional or different symptoms.
Progesterone depletion is now believed
to be the cause of many of
the symptoms that women suffer in
perimenopause and menopause.
Lucky for us, researchers like Dr. John
Lee have discovered that
most women in our society suffer from a
hormonal imbalance called
estrogen dominance. That means estrogen
is unopposed or unbalanced
by the diminished level of progesterone.
In fact, Dr. Lee says, "I
would propose that a new syndrome be
recognized: that of estrogen
dominance." (What Your Doctor My Not
Tell You About Menopause. NY,
Warner Books, 1996.)4-6
In addition to the unpleasantries that
most woman in our culture
experience during this period of their
lives, estrogen unopposed by
progesterone also decreases sex drive,
increases the likelihod of
fibrocystic breasts, uterine fibroids,
uterine (endometrial) cancer,
and breast cancer. That's why it's so
important to replenish your
progesterone levels with a natural
progesterone supplement.
