Under the normal, healthy circumstances of a woman's monthly cycle, estrogen should be the dominant hormone for the first two weeks and is balanced by natural progesterone, which should be the dominant hormone for the latter two weeks.

 Natural Progesterone is manufactured by the ovaries at ovulation (22-25 mg/day), by the placenta during pregnancy (up to 400 mg/day), and by the adrenal glands and fat cells at menopause.

After a woman has entered menopause, whether it is due to age or surgery (hysterectomy), female 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 more critical at this time and many informed women have chosen a properly formulated natural prgesterone cream.

Progesterone affects every tissue in our bodies (because) there are progesterone receptors everywhere.
