Allergies

Allergy-causing substances, a.k.a. allergens, surround us in our environment. We do not experience an allergic reaction to them unless our body's ability to deal with them is exceeded. Specifically it is the cortisone produced by our adrenal glands that block the histamine response to these allergens.

Progesterone is a precursor or building block to all the corticosteroids. It is required by the adrenal glands in the manufacture of cortisone. Stress, vitamin C deficiency, and progesterone deficiency all contribute to adrenal exhaustion. Natural progesterone supplementation helps to restore hormone balance. This in turn supports the adrenals and helps to replenish our bodies with the corticosteroids necessary to handle our daily exposure to allergens.
