Progesterone -Bio-identical Hormone Therapy Anti-aging Services

Progesterone is mainly produced by the corpus luteum in the ovaries just prior to and after ovulation. It is also produced in large quantities by the placenta during pregnancy and in small quantities by the adrenal glands. Progesterone may enhance estrogen activity while also moderating (decreasing) symptoms of estrogen excess like water retention, fat accumulation, fibrocystic breast changes, sugar craving, uterine bleeding etc. also it helps with anxiety and sleep difficulties as well as mood swings.

Progesterone is one of the first hormones to decline during peri-menopause and menopause. (Estrogen is the last to decline and sometimes it never goes down significantly as fat cells and adrenal glands can make more).
