Stress, processed foods, and other factors unique to today's society are the reasons many women do not get enough essential nutrients to create hormonal balance.

When balance is restored by increasing natural progesterone levels, these symptoms typically disappear.

Lack of sex drive, mood swings, endometriosis, pain and irritability during PMS, recurrences of acne, and even osteoporosis , are a result of estrogen dominance or hormonal imbalance in women.
