Progesta-Care PLUS
Natural Progesterone Cream with Phytoestrogens from Life-Flo
Women in their peri-menopausal and menopausal years may find great relief from menopausal symptoms with progesterone and phytoestrogens.
Progesta-Care PLUS contains natural progesterone and phytoestrogens for those who need both progesterone and estrogen supplementation. |
Supplementation with natural progesterone cream can help to maintain a normal level of progesterone and a balanced ratio of estrogen to progesterone. The natural progesterone found in Progesta-Care PLUS is “natural USP progesterone”, which is biologically identical to the same hormone women produce.
We know through scientific discoveries that many different estrogens are produced by the body. However, there is a group of estrogen “look-a-likes” found in plants. They are called “phytoestrogens,” and have estrogen-like activity. During menopause, estrogen levels drop up to 60% and progesterone to nearly zero. Progesta-Care PLUS contains several phytoestrogens, including black cohosh, red clover tops extract, chaste tree berry extract, and Dong Quai root extract.
The progesterone and phytoestrogens in Progesta-Care PLUS offer an alternative to taking dangerous synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Hormone Balance
The balance of progesterone and estrogen in a woman’s body is very important. During menopause, the levels of both progesterone and estrogen fall dramatically, and this hormonal imbalance can result in symptoms of perimenopause or menopause. Symptoms of reduced hormones include moodiness, hot flashes, night sweats, depression, weight gain, bloating, loss of libido, hair and skin changes, and breast tenderness.
In the right amount, a combination of progesterone and phytoestrogens can:
- Have a calming effect
- Enhance moods
- Regulate fluid balance
- Normalize sleep
- Reduce hot flashes and night sweats
- 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 with phytoestrogens is specially formulated to help support a healthy hormone balance.
Progesterone and Phytoestrogen Supplementation
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. This brand is recommended by Dr. John Lee, author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause.
For those working on shrinking their fibroid tumors, have other women's fibrosis conditions, AND are still estrogen dominant, choose Progesta-Care natural progesterone cream WITHOUT 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:
Suggested Use According to Dr. John Lee, M.D.
Menstruating women: Apply once or twice a day as needed, starting on the 12th day after the first day of menstrual flow through the 27th day.
Menopausal women: 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 PLUS 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 of progesterone 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 PLUS 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 and estrogens.
