Progesterone vs. Progestin

What’s the difference between progesterone and progestin?

Yes, there’s a HUGE difference. I’m not a fan of progestin and here’s why:

• It’s synthetic (aka fake)
• It’s been linked to increasing anxiety and depression.
• It has been linked to increasing risk of cancer.

Now, progesterone my friends is the QUEEN. Here’s why:

• She’s au natural….produced by our ovaries.
• She’s calming to the brain and nervous system and is also anti-inflammatory.
• She can be protective against cancer.

But! If you don’t ovulate you don’t make progesterone so this is HUGE when it comes to menstrual health.

Do you know your progesterone levels?
