Progesterone Relieves Menopause-Related Symptoms

This article is glowingly in favour or natural progesterone, stating that it is superior to artificial progesterone. So why hasn’t this been plastered all over the news??

J Women’s Health 2000;9(4):1-7 At doses of 100 to 400 mg q.d., 80% of the subjects reported excellent satisfaction with the new HRT regimen, and more than 65% reported improvement over the previous regimen. Vasomotor symptoms were improved in 50% of the subjects, anxiety and depression in 45%, and somatic symptoms in 32%. The subjects also reported improvements in sleep disturbance, menstrual problems, cognitive difficulties, and sexual functioning. The authors conclude, in the May issue of the Journal of Women’s Health, that “quality-of-life effects of natural progesterone are superior to MPA-containing regimens. These benefits combined with the positive effects on lipoproteins suggest that a micronized progesterone regimen may offer a wider spectrum of benefits for postmenopausal women.”
