It is common knowledge that progesterone is a female sex hormone. What you may not know is that males also have their progesterone reserve, which helps in the preservation of male masculinity.
Male progesterone is synthesized in the adrenal glands and testes. It primarily acts as a precursor to testosterone. Meaning, enough progesterone is needed to produce an adequate level of testosterone in men.
However, during a man’s midlife years, his progesterone levels steadily decline as his estrogen count rises, causing testosterone levels to plummet. When this continues, estrogen dominance may occur, which may lead to what some call “man boobs” or gynecomastia, loss of libido, depression, fatigue, and even weight gain.
Sometimes help is needed to lower high estradiol levels in men which can cause these issues. Read more about Chrysin Max for these problems as well.
