Progesterone is the hormone that prepares the uterus to receive a fertilized egg. It's a calming, relaxing, immune-supporting hormone that is needed for overall health and vitality.
You might already know this, but vitamin whole food C is essential in the creation of progesterone. This "progesterone boosting" smoothie will support your progesterone production by giving you tons of whole food vitamin C.
