Keeping our ovaries and adrenal glands healthy is essential for the production of our female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. A key nutrient for ovarian and adrenal health is beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is the plant-based precursor to vitamin A. It helps to protect us from conditions related to estrogen dominance, including ovarian cancer, heavy menstrual bleedin...g and breast cysts.
A study from the International Journal of Cancer found that high carotenoid intake strongly decreases a woman’s risk for ovarian cancer. These foods include carrots, pumpkins, sweet red peppers, papayas, apricots, kale, collards and dandelion greens. You can also take 5,000-20,000 per day of beta carotene as a supplement
