Progesterone
Natural progesterone that your body makes is very different from synthetic progestins that are patented and sold by commercial companies. The differences between the two are often misunderstood in scientific literature as well as in the clinical trenches of many doctors’ offices, even gynecologists.
In this show you will learn:
