The Female Body manufactures many types
of Estrogen but only one Progesterone and Natural Progesterone is the Source of Libido
or Sex Drive in Women!
Natural Progesterone
is normally produced by the female ovaries right after ovulation and balances
the side effects of otherwise unopposed estrogen.
Under the influences of Dietary Estrogens,
petrochemicals, stress, and Menopause, Progesterone
production ceases or is suppressed and the effects of
Estrogen Dominance, can be observed.

It is also important that we distinguish
Natural Progesterone from its counterparts
in the drug industry - PROGESTINS. Although these
drugs are commonly referred to as Progesterone, this is a misnomer.
In some ways they mimic the effects of Natural Progesterone in the body, but
in other important ways they gravely interfere with Natural Progesterone and can
create and exacerbate hormone related health problems, and be a primary
contributor to Estrogen Dominance
