Natural
Hormone Balance Part 2
by John Russell
In
Part 1 of Natural Hormone Balance, we explored the
ongoing debate about synthetic hormone replacement
therapy (HRT) vs. all-natural progesterone products.
International Health Distribution understands the
importance of HRT and how it affects women of all
ages. We continually strive to not only provide top-of-the-line
natural progesterone products, but also to educate
and keep you informed of the latest medical studies
on the subject. As promised in Part I of Natural
Hormone Balance, International Health Distribution
offers up some clarifying definitions of common buzz
words among women’s health.
Progesterone
Progesterone identifies one specific chemical. More
specifically, progesterone identifies one single
molecule (sometimes confused with a class of hormones).
It is just this one single hormone that impacts the
woman’s body—and it’s manufactured in the body by
various organs.
Progesterone is a “building block,” if you will,
for other hormones such as adrenal hormones (adrenaline),
which are used in response to stress and danger.
The adrenal hormones increase blood pressure to prepare
the body for self-defense.
Progestins
Available from pharmaceutical companies with a prescription
from a licensed physician, progestins are synthetic,
wherein progesterone is actually altered at the molecular
level. As you can imagine, altering the molecular
structure of progesterone to progestin can cause
significant changes, particularly as it affects the
human body.
It has been documented that progestins are not utilized
as an aid to supplement hormones, and they are actually
difficult for the body to break down and excrete.
Most progestins can also be derived from organic
compounds, such as found in plants, through a process
called hydrolyzation.
Natural Progesterone
Natural Progesterone can be derived from wild yams
and soybeans, and developed into progesterone. This
is exactly the same in molecular structure and action
to human progesterone, which is made for this method
and graded by the U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP). It is
commonly transformed into a cream for transdermal
(rubbed into the skin) absorption.
It is said to be an “identical likeness” to human
progesterone. Dr. Ron Eaker claims there is evidence
that natural progesterone creams are helpful for
many menopausal side effects. He, along with other
medical professionals, now shows significant data
that this is valid.
Recently, there were two papers presented at the
World Congress of Fertility that documented improvement
in hot flashes for women using progesterone creams.
These papers also acknowledge many testimonies of
natural progesterone effectiveness for pre-menstrual
syndrome (PMS) as well as various other menopausal
symptoms. More investigations are forthcoming almost
daily.
Another study recently published in a medical journal
found significant improvement in hot flash symptoms
when transdermal natural progesterone was used. All-natural
progesterone has also proved to inhibit abnormal
growth of cells in key body organs, which may actually
transfer to additional diseases potentially impeding
the growth of cancer developed cells, which has obvious
major implications.
In summary, natural progesterone that is applied
in the form of a cream has been documented to be
a viable option for women wishing to effectively
and safely treat basic hormonal imbalance, including
symptoms and conditions that occur throughout a woman’s
life span. Researchers have also linked these findings
to acne improvement, particularly for teenage girls.
