Progesterone Supplements

What are progesterone supplements and why do you need them?

Progesterone supplements are hormonal products used to replenish progesterone levels in the body. ‌These supplements are especially recommended in cases ⁣where the body's own production of progesterone is insufficient. This can occur during pregnancy, but also in other situations such as menopause. Progesterone plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle, maintaining pregnancy and promoting healthy skin. Without sufficient progesterone, these processes can become disrupted, which can lead to discomfort and health problems. In addition, progesterone supplements often help treat symptoms such as mood swings, hot flashes and sleep disorders.

There are various forms of progesterone supplements available, such as creams, tablets and suppositories. Each of these forms has its own advantages, depending on your needs and preferences. Here are⁤some ⁤of the most common options:

    • Creams: Are often applied to the skin and are quickly absorbed.
    • Tablets: Easy to take, convenient for⁤ daily use.
