When progesterone levels are high, we feel a calm, nurturing sense of wellbeing - we like to call it the snuggle hormone. Too little progesterone can produce side effects similar to menopause. which of course we would want to avoid if possible. Eating foods that contain certain vitamins and minerals may also help support healthy progesterone levels. Progesterone drops with each cycle, and also in menopause.
How does it work?
The ingredients have been specially selected as a blend to maximise your body;s capability to support the production of progesterone. Vitamin C, Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin E and PHP (B6) are all key to this support. We have added Rhodiola Rosea Root, which is an adaptogenic herb that can indirectly help to increase progesterone by managing the stress response of the body.
Who should take it?
Those showing symptoms of low progesterone levels in women. Women: Irregular periods, low libido, anxiety, insomnia, spotting between periods, trouble staying asleep, feeing "unsafe".
We recommend you have a blood test to confirm your progesterone levels before embarking on this supplement. See your GP or gynecologist, alternatively get aDutch Test(dried urine test) test, a hormones test from Omnos -female - or another healthcare provider.
How do I take it?
Pre-Menopausal - Take 1 capsule each day with food on days 13-25 of your cycle. Post-Menopausal and men - Take 1 capsule each day with food for 13-25 days starting after each full moon.
I have low progesterone and for the last year I’ve suffered intolerable perimenopausal anxiety. Having nearly completed one cycle with these, so day 13 to 25, I’ve had notable peace of mind. So far I’m really pleased with how it’s working…only thing is as soon as I’ve stopped on day 25 the anxiety has returned! I’m hoping the effect will build in my system to cover me over the 16 days that I’m not supposed to take it, it’s made such a difference days 13 to 25.

Black Cohosh Extract 2.5% (Total Triterpene glycosides)
If you take between 2-5g this isn't enough to kick off your metabolism and break your fast.
I like to spread out my servings of Collagen Peptides throughout the day. I would recommend a maximum of 10g per day. I split mine over 2 portions.
I found that after 3 weeks of consistently taking Collagen Peptides, my nails were stronger and my skin was brighter - but it does depend on your lifestyle and obviously everything else you put in to your body has an impact on the effectiveness.
FAQs
Progesterone supports the uterine lining and thyroid hormone regulation. It also supports mineral balance in the body, stimulates GABA receptors to calm the nervous system and supports glucocorticoid sensitivity. Think of it as the safety hormone. We like to call it the snuggle hormone.

It would be best to consult with a medical professional.
It is best utilised with the testosterone and insulin regulation precursors. It is best to try this one first if you are taking the Oestrogen Boost supplement, as often an improvement in progesterone levels increases the sensisivity of oestrogen receptors and therefore lowering the need to dramatically increase oestrogen production.
