Benefits of progesterone for men

  • Maintain normal testosterone levels
  • Anti-inflammatory effects, especially in the brain.

  • Prevention of brain degeneration: including dementia, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease
  • Antidepressant effect
  • Increase sperm production
  • Maintaining muscle mass

How does progesterone naturally inhibit DHT?

Progesterone inhibits an enzyme that prevents testosterone from converting into DHT (a more potent form of testosterone), which can cause prostate enlargement. Commercially available medications for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (such as Finasteride ) are synthetic derivatives of progesterone, but progesterone can achieve the same effect naturally without side effects .

Why is there a lack of progesterone?

All steroid hormones (including progesterone and testosterone) are produced from cholesterol . However, many men who take cholesterol-lowering drugs ( Statin ) will directly block hormone production.

Cholesterol sources and conversion pathways

  • Food sources: sardines, offal (such as beef liver), fatty meat, full-fat cheese
  • Cholesterol Pregnenolone Progesterone Testosterone
  • Pregnenolone is a "happy hormone" that can promote the production of other hormones.
  • If you need to supplement with pregnenolone, it is recommended to start with a low dose ( 5–10 mg ), and it is not necessary for everyone.

3 key nutrients that promote hormone conversion

1. Magnesium

  • It is recommended to take magnesium glycinate .
  • Take it before bed for best results
  • Food sources: avocado, dark leafy green vegetables, pumpkin seeds, black chocolate

2 Zinc

  • It can increase testosterone levels
  • Food sources: seafood, oysters, red meat

3 Vitamin B3 ( Niacin )

  • We recommend choosing the version with " flush response".
  • Good for heart health
  • Food sources: Nutritional yeast, supplements

Six factors that hinder progesterone production

1 ) Statin drugs : block cholesterol hormone production stagnation 2 ) Chronic stress : Ashwagandha , vitamin B1 , and probiotics can be used to increase oxytocin levels and reduce stress. 3 ) High insulin levels : originate from refined sugar and carbohydrates sugar reduction is recommended. 4 ) Environmental hormone disruptors : plastics, heavy metals, chemicals Recommendations: eat cruciferous vegetables + use a water filter 5 ) Alcohol : Directly inhibits testosterone production 6 ) Inflammation : Vitamin D can be used to reduce inflammation It is recommended to supplement with 10,000–20,000 IU daily.

Lifestyle habits that increase testosterone

  • Consume high-quality protein: grass-fed red meat (beef, lamb)
  • High-intensity interval training ( HIIT ) or resistance training, several times a week.
  • Avoid overtraining otherwise cortisol levels will rise testosterone levels will drop
  • It is recommended to engage in interval training and long walks, and avoid prolonged high-heart-rate exercise.

In conclusion: Don't assume that "progesterone equals female hormones" anymore; proper supplementation is key to true balance.

Progesterone is an essential component of the male hormone system, influencing testosterone, prostate, brain, muscles, and immunity. Starting today, a serving of beef liver, a zinc supplement, and a HIIT workout will lay a solid foundation for your hormone levels!

Don't be trapped by the myth that "hormones are a woman's prerogative." True health comes from knowing how to replenish nutrients, reduce stress, and fight inflammation!
