Important Factors

Initially Natpro should be used for no less than three months to start feeling the benefits. Some bodies respond quicker and some take longer. 
Using natural methods such as supplementing with bio-identical progesterone takes time and perseverance.

Much also depends on other influencing factors such as your environmental circumstances, diet, exercise, the personal and home care products you use and stress levels. Many people give up before they have allowed the body enough time to adjust as we are so conditioned to expecting instant results. Using enough bio-identical progesterone and using it correctly is essential to allow your body enough time to adjust.

Progesterone will help if the problem is caused by a lack of it or if excess estrogen is present, but there are many other factors involved too, for instance a lack of vitamin D reduces the benefits of progesterone, please have a test done. The optimal range is between 70-100ng/mL. Nothing less than 5,000iu's is needed daily. Co-factors are needed when taking D3, magnesium and vitamin K2 are the important ones.

Large meals, dark gloomy days, winter, high adrenaline levels, excess blood glucose, a high amount of phytoestrogens in the diet, HRT and the contraceptive pill, all affect your levels adversely.

Stress drops progesterone levels drastically too, if you go through a very stressful period increase your progesterone dose to maintain levels. Practicing mindfulness techniques can contribute to managing stress levels.

Where possible eat a nutrient rich diet and stay away from processed foods and synthetic chemicals. Diet and nutrition are primary areas to focus on before choosing to supplement with anything. Eating foods that support your gut health is essential.

Be mindful of what household and personal care products you use. The EWG database is a good resource to check the safety of the chemical components or ingredients of most products.

Support your journey to natural balance with any regular exercise your body is capable of performing and maintaining.

You are encouraged to refer any health problem to a health care practitioner and, in reference to any information contained in this web site, preferably one with specific knowledge of progesterone therapy.
