Pro-Gesta® Cream - Natural Progesterone
Natural progesterone is used to support a healthy level of progesterone and a balanced ratio of estrogen to progesterone. Natural USP progesterone, derived and converted from wild yam, is biologically identical to the hormone women produce. Additionally, it protects against the undesirable side effects of excess estrogen.
Emerita by Life-Flo's Pro-Gest Balancing Cream is formulated with sunflower oil, panthenol, sweet almond oil and other emollients, and is gentle, non-sticky and quickly absorbed. It leaves skin softer, smoother and well-hydrated. It is free of artificial colors and fragrances, and is PARABEN FREE. All ingredients are lab tested for potency and purity for a difference you can feel - the Emerita by Life-Flo difference.
Why is Emerita by Life-Flo's Pro-Gest® Cream so trusted? Maybe because it's been the leader in industry since 1978. For over 40 years, women have relied on Pro-Gest® for support at midlife.
Hormone Balance
The balance of progesterone and estrogen in a woman’s body is very important. Progesterone acts to balance excess estrogen thus preventing estrogen from becoming harmful to health, a condition known as estrogen dominance. At different times in the life of a women, hormonal imbalance can result in symptoms of PMS, perimenopause, and menopause.
Symptoms of progesterone imbalance include:
- Moodiness
- Hot flashes
- Depression
- Weight gain
- Bloating
- Low libido
- Breast tenderness
- Premenstrual syndrome
In the right amount, bioidentical progesterone can help:
- Menopausal symptoms
- Have a calming effect
- Enhance moods
- Normalize sleep
- Increase sex drive
- Use fat for energy
- Regulate fluid balance
- Stabilize blood sugar and mineral balance
Self-Care
Self-care, including exercise and a healthy diet, is an important foundation for hormone balance. Natural progesterone is specially formulated to help support a healthy hormone balance. Please have your hormones tested to determine if you need hormone replacement therapy. If you can find a doctor to work with you, that would be helpful.
