Progesterone is a reproductive hormone released by the ovaries. It is key in maintaining healthy menstrual cycles, cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and healthy pregnancy.

For many of you, after school sports comes along with back to school. If your child has never participated in sports before, this might be overwhelming from both a scheduling and a nutrition perspective.
