In Dr. John Lee’s study of osteoporosis he discovered that bone mass stays relatively constant from puberty to a few years before menopause by the balance of osteoclast function (break down of old bone) and osteoblast function (formation of new bone). However, in the years just before and post-menopause estrogen deficiency results in increased…
Why use natural progesterone to reverse osteoporosis? Won’t the progestin drugs work the same? How does natural progesterone differ from the progestins (synthetic drugs that mimic some actions of the human-body-produced progesterone)? Hormones proceed through metabolic pathways in their production. Progesterone holds a pivotal place in that pathway which starts with cholesterol. (See,…

Bone building and remodeling involves other hormones in a dance, a biofeedback with one another. Estrogen modulates the breakdown of bone, preventing it from breaking down…
