I?ve got a good bone mineral density. Should I take progesterone?
If you?ve got really good bones, taking progesterone isn?t going to make better bones. Progesterone seems to be more effective for women who have osteoporosis mild to moderate, according to John Lee?s work over a fifteen to twenty year period with his patients. If you are taking progesterone to prevent osteoporosis, that is a fifty million dollar question that no one can answer at this point in time. Many women take progesterone for other factors and also it is peace of mind. It won?t hurt you but certainly won?t add extra bone on to bone if you have good bones.
