Calming Balance
Progesterone is a hormone produced primarily by the female ovaries. When considering replacement of this hormone, it is thought to be optimal to utilize a bioidentical progesterone as this form is molecularly identical to what the human body would generate and effects may be supoerior to synthetic alternatives. Additionally, use of a micronized form of progesterone can result in improved bioavailabilty and use by the body. Topical use of micronized, bioidentical progesterone delivers hormone directly to the blood stream through the skin and avoids what is referred to as the first pass of the liver or digestive process that occurs when taken orally. This delivery may be safer and provide more immediate results in alleviating the negative effects of estrogen excess that can occur with PMS and perimenopausal hormone fluctuations. Benefits of topical, bioidentical progesterone can include improved sleep, calming of mood, decreased bloating, and an overall sense of well being.
