Helps prevent breast cancer. Increases bone building. Natural progesterone is the exact same hormone that is produced by a woman's ovary. It is made from naturally occurring plant steroids found in the wild yam and various other natural sources. Natural progesterone does NOT produce the severe side effects that the synthetic progestins do, including increased risk of cancer, abnormal menstrual flow, fluid retention, nausea, and depression, etc.
Natural progesterone is very useful to balance excess estrogen.
Natural progesterone is a precursor or starting material to make other hormones that your body uses and needs. It can even convert into estrogen or testosterone if your body needs it. However, if progesterone is too low or estrogen is too high, a woman will experience symptoms. Some common symptoms of PMS include water retention, breast soreness, migraines, mood swings and cramping. In the earlier parts of the cycle and just before it begins, progesterone levels are usually low while estrogen levels are beginning to increase.
