I stopped using any type of estrogen in late Feb/early March 2019.
I've been using oral progesterone powder since March 26, 2019, with GOOD results thus far. 100mg oral daily taken before bed. My hairline is actually improving before my eyes.
I had been using progesterone on/off for years however that was the progesterone oil mixed in vit e. It gives significantly different effects than using the powder orally.
"According to Dr Ping Zheng and his research, progesterone boosts small increases in serotonin in an area of the brain that regulates body temperature, energy, and sexual behavior. Dr. Jerome Block writes that men with low levels of progesterone have greater risk of: anxiety, low libido, hair loss, weight gain, fatigue, depression, erectile dysfunction, impotence, bone loss, muscle loss, prostatism (blockage of urine at the base of the bladder due to overgrowth of prostate cells) and even cancer.
The brain/nerve/psychological effects of progesterone are best achieved by its metabolites formed enzymatically in the liver. Thus, taking progesterone for the brain, sleep, calming, nerve protective effect is best achieved by taking it orally."
