Why are Hormones Important?
In women’s health, hormones play a crucial role in regulating many aspects of physical and emotional well-being. The primary hormones in women include:
- Estrogen – The main female sex hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle, supports reproductive health, and impacts bone health, mood, and skin elasticity.
- Progesterone – Works with estrogen to regulate the menstrual cycle, prepare the uterus for pregnancy, and support a healthy pregnancy. It also has a calming effect on the brain.
- Testosterone – Although typically thought of as a male hormone, women produce testosterone in smaller amounts. It helps with libido, muscle mass, bone density, and overall energy levels.
