Natural Calm and Balance

Progesterone is often called the "calming hormone" for good reason. This essential hormone helps regulate your sleep cycle, mood, and stress response while supporting healthy menstrual cycles and protecting against certain health risks.

How Progesterone Supports Your Health

Progesterone plays crucial roles throughout your body:

• Promotes restful sleep by having natural sedative effects

• Calms anxiety and supports emotional stability

• Balances estrogen preventing estrogen dominance

• Supports bone health by stimulating bone-building cells

• Regulates menstrual cycles and reduces PMS symptoms

• Protects against endometrial overgrowth when used with estrogen

• Supports thyroid function by enhancing thyroid hormone activity

• Maintains healthy pregnancy in reproductive years

Signs You May Need Progesterone Therapy

Consider bioidentical progesterone therapy if you experience:

• Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep

• Anxiety, nervousness, or feeling "wired"

• PMS symptoms like mood swings or breast tenderness
