We've
all heard of 5-alpha reductase and how this is what turns vital
testosterone into unwanted dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Excess levels
of DHT are associated with baldness, prostate disease, erectile
dysfunction, loss of memory and a host of other illnesses as men
age. Popular drugs like Propecia, Proscar and Avodart have been
designed using this principle. Progesterone is a naturally powerful
5-alpha reductase inhibitor. Being a Natural Bioidentical Hormone,
it does not have the side effects of drugs. As a matter of fact
because Progesterone blocks the conversion of Testosterone into
DHT, it automatically maintains elevated levels of Testosterone
in the body. Testosterone helps increase Hair Growth. DHEA Pro Gel
therefore besides naturally preventing Hair Loss works actively
to also increase Hair Growth which drugs like Propecia, Proscar
and Avodart are not designed to do.
Do
Men require Progesterone !
The first thing we need to understand is that men and women have
exactly the same hormones only indifferent amounts. Women have testosterone,
androstenedione and even a prostate specific antigen (PSA). Men
have estriol, estrone, estradiol, progesterone, luteining hormone
(LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).
As men age their levels of estrogen rise especially the two most
dangerous and potent estrogens - estrone and estradiol. A man over
50 literally has more estrogen than his postmenopausal wife! That
is scary. It is finally becoming clear that this excess of estrogen
in aging men is responsible for a variety of problems such as adiposity,
breast development, many cancers, prostate problems, baldness and
other problems that come with advanced age.
Progesterone is the most potent known antagonist to estrogen. It
is progesterone that inhibits those harmful effects of too much
estrogen more than anything else. As estrogen levels rise in men
there is no parallel rise in progesterone.
Any man over 50 may well choose to use a small amount of transdermal
natural progesterone daily to offset the excess estrogens in his
blood. A dose of approximately 10 mg a day is found effective for
most men. It is reassuring to know that progesterone has no toxicity
to speak of especially in these small amounts. It is very safe to
use without any known side effects at all. Studies in laboratory
animals given very large doses resulted in no side effects.
Shrink
your Prostate !
The human prostate actually has progesterone receptors and to have
a healthy prostate gland your receptors must have enough blood progesterone
constantly to keep them filled? Studies on laboratory animals have
actually reduced the weights of their prostates just by giving them
natural progesterone. It has also been used to treat men. Many men
have chosen to use transdermal progesterone based on the overwhelming
evidence we have from studies around the world on test animals,
DHT, 5-alpha reductase and prostate metabolism. Dr.
John Lee, M.D. did extensive work on this during his life time.
