this one https://www.longnaturalhealth.com/Dr-Peats-Progest-E-Complex-34-ml (not progestin btw)I have. I take progesteron for my adrenals so although I'm a woman it's not a sex hormone for me.
What form are you taking? And do you take it for your adrenals?
It is important you take progesteron, not progestin. In Europe the right brand is called Utrogestan. This hormone is identical to the hormone human bodies produce. Progestins are not identical to human progesteron and have undesirable side-effects. Unfortunately they are heavily lobbied with doctors.
I take an oral pill of 100 mg which gets converted to 10 mg by the liver, into the blood stream, which is the amount people (man/woman) need per day. It has a half time of 4 hours. I wonder if you can feel its effect and the wearing off. I take my pill at night and sleep better.
For adrenals progesteron is wonderful. It calms me down fast. It is the hormone from which cortisol is made. My adrenals are less burdened. I help them additionally with table salt, vit C and protein. And rest.
Testosteron helps with this too. Is your testosteron ok? Both free and total testosteron.
i am starting at 12mg a day.
