These are herbs that support production of progesterone. They do not
contain progesterone, they support areas of the body that produce
progesterone or regulate hormonal balance by supporting the endocrine
system. Herbs that help to reduce estrogen dominance may also support
the body in balancing progesterone levels. Reducing excess estrogen is
important to getting progesterone levels back up. Avoiding xenohormones
and protecting the body from xenoestrogens with phytoestrogen herbs may
also play an important to proper progesterone levels. See Estrogen
Balance section to learn more about herbs for supporting removal of
excess estrogens from the body.
