Female sex hormones including estrogen and progesterone help conduct our sleep cycles and overall mood.
Progesterone in particular, plays a crucial role in sleep quality due to the production of GABA which is a neurotransmitter that helps decrease activity in the nervous system. When progesterone levels are low, it leaves the body at risk for increased anxiety and fragmented sleep patterns.
Both hormones must maintain a level of homeostasis in the body for optimal health. When one hormone falls out of the balance it will impact other important hormones and can potentially cause a number of symptoms.
Often times, estrogen levels can become too high in comparison with progesterone, which is a common condition known as estrogen dominance. As a result, the condition can cause poor sleep quality, anxiety, mood swings, and weight gain. By ensuring that progesterone levels are adequate, you can improve your quality of sleep and day-to day mood by reducing anxiety.
Since an over production of estrogen is so common, Baseline+ contains Diindolylmethane (DIM) which helps the body metabolize excess estrogen and helps prevent hormonal imbalance that can produce unpleasant side effects. To help raise low progesterone levels naturally, Baseline+ contains chaste tree berry extract which supports normal levels of progesterone. It can also help stabilize proper levels of estrogen as well.
Additionally, MACA is included as a support for hormone balance and may have a positive effect on decreasing anxiety and boosting an overall sense of wellbeing.
