AIM Renewed Balance FAQs
Does natural progesterone have any side effects?
According to John Lee, M.D., when natural progesterone is used in amounts no greater than what the body produces (20 mg to 24 mg per day), there are no known side effects. Some women have noticed occasional spotting, and others a feeling of euphoria or drowsiness when taking larger amounts of natural progestrone. Any reoccurring spotting or breakthrough bleeding should always be checked by a health practitioner. If you are not using natural progesterone correctly, you may have a return of the symptoms linked to estrogen dominance. If this is the case, alter your use.
Can I use too much natural progesterone?
Every woman has different needs, so defining “too much” is difficult. We recommend using the suggested serving and, if necessary, altering it to fit your needs.
Can natural progesterone help osteoporosis?
Studies by John Lee, M.D., indicate that natural progesterone may help osteoblast function, which is integral in the rebuilding of bone.
What do I do if I am currently on ERT or HRT?
Because different women use different amounts of estrogen and progestin in ERT or HRT, you should consult your health practitioner.
How quickly will I notice results?
Some people notice results immediately, while others may not notice results for two to three months. This is because if you have a progesterone deficiency, the natural progesterone will initially be absorbed by fat. When the progesterone levels in the body are satisfactory, the natural progesterone will diffuse into the blood.
