Contemplating the action of progesterone on neural tissue

There has been a recent explosion of research looking into the positive impact progesterone has on people suffering from traumatic brain injury. In my practice I have had success using nutrients geared towards generating neural growth factors in damaged neural tissue.

The use of acetyl L-carnitine, Coenzyme Q-10 and Alpha Lipoic acid has been shown to restore neural function and enhance mental capacity. When neural growth factors are released it has the effect of re-growing damaged neural tissue.

Progesterone treatments, as seen in the recent research, show effect only when the progesterone is used immediately after the injury. This limits its use to acute treatment. For those who have chronic neural damage, the use of nutrients remains the most effective means of restoring wellness.
