Meta-Gen's series of supplements were developed by Dr. Lara, a well Progesterone is needed in hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women for many reasons, but one of its most important roles is to balance or oppose the effects of estrogen. Unopposed estrogen creates a strong risk for breast cancer and reproductive cancers.

Estrogen levels drop only 40-60% at menopause, which is just enough to stop the menstrual cycle. But progesterone levels may drop to near zero in some women. Because progesterone is the precursor to so many other steroid hormones, supplementing it can greatly enhance overall hormone balance after menopause. Progesterone also stimulates bone-building and thus helps protect against osteoporosis.

Natural progesterone is preferable to the synthetic progestins such as Provera because it is natural to the body and has no undesirable side effects when used as directed. Progest-3000 Natural Progesterone Enhancer is derived from naturally occurring plant sterols which provides it with highly desired enhanced oxygen bonding capabilities. This makes it far superior to the traditionally produced progesterones from diosgenin, a phytoestrogen found in wild yam and soy.

Whether or not to use natural progesterone when a woman is pre-menopausal is a decision best made by each individual woman working with a health care professional familiar with female hormones. For more information, click Printable Brochure
