Progesterone is integral to the intricate balance of hormones that contribute to women's health throughout their lives.
Progesterone is a vital hormone produced in the ovaries, typically at 10 to 30 mg daily during the luteal phase—the second half of the menstrual cycle. In younger women with regular cycles, progesterone levels are usually adequate, helping maintain hormonal balance and reduce symptoms of estrogen dominance. This essential hormone supports regular menstrual cycles, breast development, pregnancy maintenance, blood vessel relaxation, and even influences mood and brain function.
Progesterone is a key hormone that supports a woman’s reproductive health and overall well-being. Produced primarily by the ovaries, it helps regulate the menstrual cycle by preparing the uterine lining for a potential pregnancy. During pregnancy, progesterone levels stay elevated to nurture the placenta and maintain a healthy environment for fetal growth. Beyond reproduction, progesterone plays an important role in mood balance, bone strength, and immune support—making it essential for long-term health at every stage of life.
