PROGESTERONE

Hormone Precurser Effects

PROGESTERONE - THE MULTIPLE ROLES OF PROGESTERONE IN A NUTSHELL

• Maintains the secretory endometrium (the lining of the uterus) for nuturing a possible fertilized ovum
• Makes the cervical mucus accessible by sperm
• Allows embryo to survive
• Stops ovulation by the other ovary
• Prevents immune rejection of the developing baby, which carries the "foreigh DNA of the father"
• Allows for full development of the fetus throughout the pregnancy
• Facilitates the use of body fat for energy during pregnancy
• Activates osteoblasts to increase new bone formation
• Allows development of baby without secondary sexual development
• Increases libido at time of ovulation

PROGESTERONE - HOROMONE PRECURSER EFFECTS

• Functions as primary precurser for all adrenal cortocosteroids
• Functions as primary precurser for estrogens
• Functions as primary precurser for testoterone (produced by testes in males)

• Normalizes blood clotting (excess estrogen causes abnormal blood clotting) and protects against strokes
• Acts as a natural diuretic (excess estrogen causes water retention)
• Acts as a natural antidepressant and relieves anxiety
• Helps normalize blood sugar levels
• Restores proper cell oxygen levels (estrogen depletes cell oxygen levels)
• Normalizes zinc and copper levels
• Helps thyroid hormone function
• Helps use fat for energy (estrogen converts food energy into fat)
• Stimulates osteroblsasts - mediated new bone formation (reverses osteoprosis)
• Maintains normal cell membrane functions
• Restores normal sensitivity of estrogen receptor
• Has beneficial anti-inflammatory effects
• Is useful in some cases of seizure disorders (epilepsy)
• Reduces incidence of autoimmune disorders
• Is thermogenic (raises body temperature)
• Helps metabolize body fat for energy
• Helps prevent hypertension
• Prevents yeast (candida) infections at phyiologic doses
