The gentle difference

        USP grade natural progesterone derived from Wild Yam - 500 mg per ounce, measurable from 10 mg to 40 mg                 per dose.

        No animal or petroleum derived ingredients no mineral oil, no xenochemical hormones.

        Unique Liposomal Technology designed to better deliver natural progesterone to specific receptor sites to                   maximize absorption and utilization.

        Liposomal Delivery System

                  •  Protects active ingredients

                  •  Fosters deeper penetration

                  •  Offers a natural sustained release resulting in superior absorption; the gradual release of progesterone                      prevents accumulation in fat cells.

                  •  Allows for enhanced delivery of both water and oil soluble active ingredients.

ALL NATURAL, NO ANIMAL OR PETROLEUM BASED BY-PRODUCTS

Aloe Vera (Barbadensis)
Aloe Vera is a soothing, healing, moisturizing anti-inflammatory plant known to nurture the collagen and elastin tissues of the skin. It is known to have over 200 biologically active nutritional components including enzymes, trace minerals, amino acids, polysaccharides, growth factors and wound healing hormones which collectively support the body’s ability to cleanse, detoxify and rejuvenate cell tissue. Aloe increases cell wall permeability, thereby allowing nutrients easier access while supporting the removal of toxins. Some studies have suggested that the Polysaccharides, and possibly other constituents, have exhibited anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties.

Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus)
Listed in the "PDR for Herbal Medicines" (1998)... Indications and Usage; For premenstrual syndrome (PMS), to treat irregularities of the menstrual cycles, premenstrual complaints and mastodynia. Possibly due to its apparent ability to effect the pituitary gland’s regulatory and balancing influence on progesterone, estrogen and prolactin hormone production.

Fenugreek (Trigonella Fornum-Graecum)
Contains copious amounts of the phyto-hormone diosgenin, some say more than Wild Yam. Diosgenin is used as an active agent for the partial synthesis of natural progesterone. Listed in the "PDR for Herbal Medicines" (1998). Indications and Usage; For inflammation of the skin, inflamed swellings and eczema. Fenugreek also has a mild antiseptic action and has historically been used with female herbal tonics imparting uterine tonus.

Red Clover (Trifolium Pratense )
Promotes the healing process of skin and is listed in the "PDR for Herbal Medicines" (1998). Indications and Usage; For treatment of chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Red Clover has been shown to have natural antibacterial and some estrogenic activity.

Rosemary Oil (Rosmarinus Officinalis)
A natural antioxidant botanical. Listed in the "PDR for Herbal Medicines" (1998)... Indications and Usage; In folk medicine for poorly healing wounds, for eczema.

Vitamin E
A powerful lipid antioxidant protecting against UV rays, ozone, environmental pollution, and abnormal breakdown of skin membranes and fat cells due to free radical damage.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM is a naturally occurring sulfur compound. Regarded as the "beauty mineral", sulfur is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. MSM provides nutritional support by supplying biologically active sulfur, encouraging healthy connective tissues underlying the skin and supporting the repair of damaged skin. MSM helps skin feel softer, appear smoother and more supple.

Wild Yam (Dioscorea Villosa)
Listed in the "PDR for Herbal Medicines" (1998). Indications and Usage; for dysmenorrhea and cramps. Wild Yam also contains large amounts of the phyto-hormone Diosgenin, used as an active agent for the partial synthesis of natural progesterone. Diosgenin also has anti-inflammatory effects.

Grapefruit Seed Extract
A potent natural antimicrobial used as a preservative.

Jojoba Oil
Used as a natural moisturizer, lubricant, emollient and provides some protection against UV rays. Helps leave the skin soft, supple, smooth and reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles.

Lecithin Phospholipid (Liposome)
A natural antioxidant, used as an emollient, emulsifier and for the formation of Liposomes.

Application & Usage

How much cream is applied?
Normal usage is between 1/8 tsp. (10mg progesterone ) to 1/2 tsp. ( 40 mg progesterone ). Apply to areas of the body high in capillary concentration such as chest, throat, face, breasts, palms of hands and soles of feet, rotating the application periodically.

Pre-menopausal Women:
Count the beginning of your period as day1, start application on day 12 and continue for 14 days. If your cycle is longer, you may want to continue until day 28. If bleeding starts before it normally would, stop using the cream and begin counting up to day 12 and start use again. Women concerned with birth control often start on day 8 of their cycle.

Menopausal Women not receiving estrogen:
You have a wider choice in your timing. You might want to base your use on the calendar month and apply the cream for 25 days, then discontinue until the next month. If your symptoms are severe, use a higher dosage and then gradually decrease. It is important to take a few days off each month.

Menopausal Women taking an estrogen supplement:
Dr. Lee recommends that estrogen supplements should be reduced by one-half when starting progesterone. He says that if you do not, you may experience an increase in the sensitivity of your estrogen receptors. Negative symptoms may actually increase for a short time but this is only temporary. If you stop using estrogen abruptly, you may experience vaginal dryness and/or hot flashes.

Women may choose to establish a goal of eliminating synthetic estrogen entirely. Dr. Lee suggests doing this over a three to six month period.

If you are taking progestin, such as Provera, he recommends that you stop taking it immediately when you start using the cream.

We strongly recommend you see your health care professional before ceasing any prescribed medication.
