Progesterone is integral to the intricate balance of hormones that contribute to women's health throughout their lives.
Progesterone is produced in the ovaries at 10 to 30mg daily in the latter half of the menstrual cycle (the luteal phase). Younger women with regular cycles generally make adequate progesterone, consistent with fewer symptoms of excess estrogen. Progesterone is essential in regular menstrual cycles, breast development, maintaining pregnancy, relaxing blood vessels, and influencing neurotransmitters in the brain.
Progesterone is a hormone essential for women’s reproductive health and overall well-being. Produced primarily by the ovaries, progesterone plays a vital role in the menstrual cycle, thickening the uterine lining in preparation for potential pregnancy. During pregnancy, progesterone levels remain elevated, supporting the development of the placenta and maintaining the uterine environment for the growing fetus. Beyond reproduction, progesterone also influences mood regulation, bone health, and immune function in women.
