To accurately evaluate the effects of Natural Progesterone and estrogen, on Menopause, PMS, Fertility, and Osteoporosis, it is necessary to identify the sources of these very important hormones. Being able to distinguish safe and natural hormones from those that are foreign and carcinogenic will allow women to make informed choices.
This information will help to avoid the unwanted effects of Estrogen Dominance and the resulting unpleasant symptoms associated with Menopause & PMS, the conditions of infertility & osteoporosis, and other major disorders, including breast cancer, stroke, osteoporosis & heart disease.
Under normal, healthy circumstances of a woman's monthly cycle, estrogen is the dominant hormone for the first two weeks and is balanced by natural progesterone, which is the dominant hormone for the latter two weeks.
After entering menopause, whether due to age or surgery (hysterectomy) hormone production is reduced to approximately 40% to 60% of the pre-menopausal levels. While the need for a proper balance of estrogen and progesterone are important to all adult women, it is even more critical at this time.
Problems arise, however, when foreign estrogens and synthetic progesterones are introduced into the body that interfere with natural hormone production and normal thyroid function and when natural progesterone production is consequently suppressed by these environmental antagonists.
Where do these "bad" or "foreign" estrogens come from?
