Progesterone Cream For Men Supplements

By Annabelle Holman


As people age, the natural production of essential hormones often declines. This is true for both sexes. For decades, replacement hormone therapy has been an established part of health care for women. However, the needs of men have not been given as much attention by the general public. However, there is a lot of research that shows the need of progesterone cream for men or some other form of supplementation.

A steroid hormone, progesterone is produced by the ovaries, the adrenal glands, nervous tissue, and fat tissue. It is necessary for many metabolic processes. A deficiency interferes with the production of sex hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, and of anti-inflammatory steroids called corticosteroids.

As people age, the levels of hormones of all types in the bloodstream decline. This is why people take melatonin for sleeping problems, estrogen for hot flashes, and plant extracts like soy isolates, Black Cohosh, Pumpkin seed oils, and supplemental growth hormones and testosterone. The daily stress of modern life, a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and toxins in the environment and the food supply contribute to the decline.

The adrenal glands produce progesterones in both sexes. These master glands of the body are what gives us extra energy in times of crisis (the fight or flight response), but also are involved in normal energy production, mental alertness, memory, concentration, and immune system health. They produce corticosteroids - the body's answer to inflammation, pain, and infection - as well. These glands are active virtually twenty-four seven.

The adrenals are naturally stimulated by everyday life and its demands, but they are also artificially stimulated by painkillers like aspirin. If they become exhausted, normal life becomes almost impossible. Even if the condition is not medically acute, people will suffer from fatigue, inability to focus on routine tasks or concentrate, memory loss, irritability, and sleep disruption.

Low energy goes along with lack of sex drive. It's easy to see why males may want to investigate their levels of progesterone. No one wants to lose their hair, feel tired all the time, be fuzzy-minded, and, in addition, gain weight easily - especially in the torso and thigh areas. Loss of muscle tone and lack of endurance are other symptoms.

Blood tests can help pinpoint this problem, but many people choose to examine their own health and use supplements to restore balance. A diet rich in the B vitamins and antioxidants like A, C, E, and others is good for many reasons and has no side effects. Researchers have found that many plants contain 'bio-identical' hormones which our bodies can use to make up deficiencies. For the male, Saw Palmetto is a safe and effective supplement.

Supplemental progesterone has been shown to be helpful for men who feel they have lost the zest that makes life worth living. There are products that come in a pump which releases a pre-measured amount of cream which provides approximately 10 milligrams of progesterone, a sufficient daily dose. Dietary supplements are not regulated like drugs, so consumers must make sure to purchase them from reputable manufacturers. However, they have a much better safety record than pharmaceuticals and seem to be something people can learn about on their own.
