Our bodies are built from food. Not eating enough healthy fats will hinder hormone production. The right vitamins and minerals can help the body produce and convert hormones. It is a big deal if having the right balance of vitamins can lower PMS symptoms. Take a look at
(ignore the coloring)
I believe there is a logjam from serum progestins to other forms of progesterone, and other classes of hormones at the end of the luteal phase. I think vitamins help enough with this, by facilitating hormones, and balancing salts to lower PMS symptoms.
In the luteal phase, I believe you have low estrogen (I question if deficiency is the right term), and excess testosterone. Aromatase (peony) during the luteal phase takes care of both estrogen and testosterone. Anti-dht (anti-alpha-reductase) herbs are also what you want during the luteal phase, they also influence progesterone pathways. The problem isn't high progesterone, its an imbalance of progesterone to other types of progestogens, estrogen and other hormones.
