What Is Happening To Your Body and Hormones in Perimenopause and Menopause

Estrogen Dominance, Progesterone Deficiency, Perimenopause and Menopause.

What is happening to your hormones in perimenopause and menopause?

Between the ages of 35 to 50 there is a 75% reduction in progesterone. Whereas between the ages of 35 to 50, estrogen has a 35% reduction rate.

This causes Estrogen to be higher than Progesterone creating Estrogen Dominance (ED). You can have HIGH PROGESTERONE and still have ED as it is all about the ratio of Estrogen to Progesterone i.e. high Progesterone but even higher Estrogen.

ED is more predominant in peri-menopause and menopause, but you can still have ED even if you are not in peri-menopuse or menopause.

This in turn causes many symptoms. Natural Organic Progesterone Cream naturally alleviates this. Natural Organic Progesterone Cream uses are not just for ED –
