Around the age of 35 is when most women’s progesterone levels begin to decline, and the effects start to become noticeable. Restoring optimal hormone balance by supporting hormone receptors can help alleviate symptoms of imbalance and may reduce the risk of age-related diseases. Among all hormones, progesterone is especially protective for the body.

The Benefits of Progesterone

Progesterone is essential to the female body, as it plays a crucial role in fertility, maintaining libido, and regulating the menstrual cycle. Furthermore, it plays a bigger role in bodily function than most people know. It helps protect against:

  • Fibrocystic breasts and uterine fibroids
  • Hormone-related cancers, including breast, uterine, and ovarian
  • Bulging veins
  • Epileptic seizures
  • Hair changes (such as loss of hair or unwanted facial hair)
  • Menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, flushing, vaginal dryness)
  • Heart attacks
  • Mood changes (irritability, mood swings)
  • Insomnia
  • Muscular aches & pains
  • Stress
  • Water retention

In addition, progesterone can relieve various types of arthritis, support the thymus and thyroid glands, help certain immune system problems, and promote the use of fat as an energy source. It may also improve memory, act as a mild diuretic, serve as a natural antidepressant, and help relieve anxiety. These are only a few of the calming and remarkable benefits that optimal progesterone levels provide for the body.

What Happens When Progesterone is Low

You may start to feel the side effects of an imbalance if certain hormone levels drop too low. Additionally, it can even cause a rise in depression and anxiety in women. There are many different causes for low progesterone. However, hormone therapy can help treat imbalances like low progesterone.
