More Evidence of Progesterone As Treatment For Traumatic Brain Injury

Researchers at Emory University (Stien, D.G. 2009) found that progesterone can protect damaged cells in the central and peripheral nervous system following traumatic brain injury. They found it can reduce swelling and the restriction of blood supply after an injury. It also protects neurons from dying after trauma. Because of its known safety, low costs and ready availability, progesterone should be widely used very soon.
