Vitamin B6 is absolutely essential for the development of the corpus luteum – this gland is produced in the ovary after the egg has been released and it is what makes the hormone progesterone. Therefore B6 is necessary for balanced hormones and preventing progesterone deficiency. Progesterone deficiency can provoke symptoms during the luteal/premenstrual phase and cause miscarriages. If you have the signs of progesterone deficiency you can supplement with B6 and increase the amount of B6-rich foods in your diet. All B vitamins help you body to metabolize the nutrients in the food you eat, as well as break down fats and proteins, however B6 is particular important for hormonal health. #hormonebalance #estrogendominance #vitaminb6 #holistichealthuk #fibroidshrinking
