Progesta-Care
Natural Progesterone Cream from Life-Flo

Natural progesterone cream is used to maintain a normal level of progesterone and a balanced ratio of estrogen to progesterone.  Natural progesterone cream is biologically identical to the same hormone women produce, and offers an alternative to taking synthetic hormones.  Additionally, it protects against the undesirable side effects of excess estrogen.

This natural bio-identical progesterone cream is best for general progesterone supplementation, and for those with fibroid tumors, other women's fibrosis conditions, and who are estrogen dominant.

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, or menopause.  Symptoms of progesterone imbalance include moodiness, hot flashes, night sweats, depression, weight gain, bloating, and breast tenderness.

In the right amount, progesterone can:

  • Have a calming effect
  • Enhance moods
  • Regulate fluid balance
  • Normalize sleep
  • Increase sex drive
  • Help use fat for energy
  • Stabilize blood sugar, thyroid function, and mineral balance
  • Decrease risk of endometrial cancer
  • Help protect against breast cancer, fibrocystic breasts, and osteoporosis

Self-Care

Self-care, including exercise and a healthy diet, is an important foundation for hormone balance. Natural progesterone cream is specially formulated to help support a healthy hormone balance.

NOTE:  We feel it is important for you to know that some research suggests progesterone might stimulate fibroid growth.  If a tumor is large and mature and has not responded to estrogen control, progesterone could be feeding it. This is only a theory though, and we tend to agree with other health experts who feel progesterone acts to mediate estrogen and regulates its effects during the menstrual cycle, and does not contribute to fibroid growth.  If your fibroid is large and mature, you may consider NOT using a progesterone cream just to be safe.  Please speak with your health care provider about this decision.

Progesterone Supplementation

Dr. Wong recommends using a natural progesterone cream for the symptoms of hormonal imbalance and a variety of women's fibrosis related conditions.  Dr. Wong also recommends DIM and/or Myomin for hormone balance.  Read Dr. Wong's newsletter Women's Fibrosis Related Illnesses about this subject.

We offer the Progesta-Care brand of natural progesterone creams from Life-Flo.  We chose these high quality products because they have no synthetic chemicals (xenoestrogens).   The chemicals in many progesterone cream products are xenoestrogens, which can contribute to estrogen dominance.  This brand is recommended by Dr. John Lee, author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause.

For those working on shrinking their tumors, have other women's fibrosis conditions, AND are still estrogen dominant, choose Progesta-Care natural progesterone cream with no phytoestrogens.  Progesta-Care Plus is an excellent cream for those who have shrunk their tumors, have their estrogen dominance under control, and are experiencing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and need estrogen supplementation.

Here are some links to articles about natural progesterone creams and estrogen dominance:

Suggested Use According to Dr. John Lee, M.D.

Menstruating (ovulating) women in their reproductive years:  Apply once or twice a day as needed, starting on the 12th day after the first day of menstrual flow through the 27th day.

Perimenopausal women (still menstruating but with cycle changes): Apply once or twice a day as needed, starting on the 7th day after the first day of the menstrual flow through the 27th day.

Menopausal and post-menopausal women (no longer menstruating):  Apply once or twice a day as needed up to a maximum of 21 consecutive days, depending on the severity of your symptoms.  Resume after a seven day break.

Pressing the pump firmly once, dispense cream into the palm of your hand and rub onto skin.  A rotation schedule is suggested so as to not repeat one location too often.  You may wish to tape this list to the cap of your bottle.

Monday - Inner Arms
Tuesday - Inner Thighs
Wednesday - Stomach
Thursday - Lower Legs
Friday - Abdomen
Saturday - Chest
Sunday - Hips

Once a day application - apply to area evenly
Twice a day application - suggest right side in AM, left side in PM

Progesta-Care is absorbed quickly into the skin, then moves into the underlying fat layer, and then into the blood stream.  It reaches its peak in the blood stream in about 3-4 hours. It will be available for the next 8 hours and then be completely cleared after 12 hours.  It is well absorbed on areas of the body mentioned above where there is good capillary blood flow.  The face, neck and the palms of the hands and soles of the feet can be useful areas also.

Please Note: We do not advise using any progesterone cream in body locations that alpha hydroxy acids have been used within the last 24 hours. Some data indicate such exfoliating acids may interfere with progesterone absorption.

The usual recommended dosage is 20 mg per day.  This is equivalent to about the amount present in the blood during the last half of the menstrual cycle.  One dose (pump) of Progesta-Care contains 20 mg.  Some women choose to add a second daily dose when symptoms are severe, or during the initial months of progesterone cream use in order to more quickly raise their levels of progesterone.

PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS. If your condition is serious, please talk to your doctor about your choice to use this or any other natural progesterone or other hormone cream or supplement. Do not allow a serious problem, such as heavy bleeding, to go on too long. A hormonal supplement may help with your condition over time, but do not put your health or life in jeopardy waiting for it to work.
