PROGESTERONE:

Progesterone is a particularly useful hormone used in the management of menopausal symptoms, it has a calming effect and it aids the other physical, emotional and cognitive (memory and learning) changes, resulting from reduced hormone levels during and after menopause. Progesterone is also used in the treatment of pre-menstrual syndrome, post-partum depression, benign cystic breast disease, endometriosis, fertility concerns and menstrual disorders. It is also found to be cancer protective in the breast and endometrium (uterine lining) and stimulates osteoblasts, which are the cells responsible for bone formation.
