Natural Progesterone & Women
Of all hormones, natural progesterone is the single most
important hormone for optimal health in women. It is critically important for
the health of virtually every cell and organ in the body and it performs the
widest variety of functions of any hormone.
More importantly, the rise and drop of estrogen and
progesterone trigger the
build up of blood and the shedding of blood each month. Low progesterone levels
can be responsible for irregular menstrual cycles and heavy bleeding. Additionally,
progesterone plays a critical role in healthy ovulation, conception and
full-term pregnancy.
The Schwann's cells make myelin sheathing which serves as an electrical insulator
for your nerves. In response to stress, myelin sheathing can be damaged and one
can literally have "frayed nerves."
Interestingly, Schwann's cells have progesterone receptors and the production of
myelin sheath is influenced by natural progesterone. This explains why so many
women report a sense of calm and well-being when using a properly formulated natural
progesterone cream.
Unfortunately, progesterone production & utilization is most susceptible to the
many chemicals found in our foods & the
environment and to
stress.
