Progesterone (page 2/3)

One of progesterone's strongest benefits is in preventing osteoporosis. Its effects in this area are stronger still when used in conjunction with estrogen. Even on its own, progesterone has shown a significant effect in maintaining bone density.

Studies conducted by Dr. John Lee and by Dr. Jerilynn Prior at the University of British Columbia have shown that progesterone can not only stop bone destruction, but it can also stimulate the osteoblasts to form new bone.

The benefits of natural progesterone replacement:
  1. Better sleep pattern.
  2. Improved libido (sex drive).
  3. Better glucose tolerance.
  4. Improves thyroid function.
  5. Improves blood clotting pathways.
  6. Lipolytic (burns fat) and mild diuretic.
  7. Decreases the chance of endometriosis.
  8. Reverses osteoporosis by stimulating osteoblasts.
  9. Improvement in allergies and in some autoimmune disorders.
  10. Essential for proper reproduction and healthy pregnancy.
  11. Elevates mood and helps diminish depression (especially postpartum).
  12. Helps protect against uterine cancer, fibroids, fibrocystic breasts and maybe breast cancer.
There is a further cautionary note regards the two female hormones, estrogen and progesterone.
Some versions of these hormones have been shown to bring on more side effects than others.
