Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if I should use progesterone?
A: If you have PMS symptoms. PMS Symptoms are
those
which occur consistently a week or 10 days before the period and stop
with or shortly thereafter.
If you have Estrogen Dominance symptoms. These
symptoms
are water retention, breast swelling, fibrocystic breasts, uterine
fibroids, loss of libido, mood swings, depression, craving for sweets,
and weight gain, fat deposited at hips and thighs.
If you have had a hysterectomy, oopherectomy
(removal of
ovaries), or menopausal symptoms. Many women experience hot flashes
following a pre menopausal hysterectomy and in the beginning of the
natural onset of menopause. Natural progesterone cream is effective for
relieving the symptoms of hot flashes. Most women have reported a
complete cessation of flushing within 3 to 8 weeks. After menopause,
estrogen continues to be produced from the fat cells; however,
progesterone production virtually ends.
Osteoporosis. Women over 50 years of age should
use natural progesterone cream to prevent osteoporosis.
Q: Where should I apply natural progesterone?
A: Natural Progesterone in a moisturizing cream
can be
applied to the face, chest, breasts, inner arms, or soles of feet. The
cream is readily absorbed and leaves no trace after a few minutes.
During absorption the cream bypasses the liver and goes to specific
receptor sites where progesterone is needed.
Q: What Exactly is natural progesterone and how
does it differ from synthetic?
A: Natural Progesterone, a cholesterol derivative,
matches exactly the chemical formulation of the body's own progesterone
and thus causes no side effects.
Manufacturers of synthetic progesterone alter the
chemical makeup of progesterone in order to create progestins.
Progestins in their altered molecular structure may cause many side
effects, such as birth defects or abortion, fluid retention, epilepsy,
migraine, asthma, cardiac, or kidney disfunction and depression.
Q: Should estrogen be used without progesterone?
A: Definitely not. It is very important that
natural
progesterone be used with any form of estrogen. Estrogen without
progesterone can cause endometrial and vaginal cancers. Estrogen blocks
thyroid production and causes water retention; and it can cause
fibrocystic breast disease, fibroid tumors and ovaria cysts.
