Despite what we are often told, women do need progesterone throughout their lives as protection from oestrogen dominance and the results of excess oestrogen which are linked to heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis. Why bioidentical hormones?Younger women are often prescribed the Pill or given the Coil to deal with symptoms of PMS or heavy bleeding. They are usually told these contain progesterone, but they do not. Instead they contain the synthetic hormone progestogen which is associated with health risks and side effects.
