| Progestex Plus natural progesterone cream with Phytoestrogens uses an advanced liposomal transdermal technology to supply a physiologically correct dose of 20 mg of natural progesterone (480 mg per ounce). Progestex Plus also contains a proprietary blend of plant estrogens which appear to function in humans much like natural estrogens. Research indicates that phytoestrogens can support the health of vaginal walls in postmenopausal women and raise HDL cholesterol levels. They contain weak estrogenic phytochemicals that can occupy estradiol receptors, helping to either reduce estrogen dominance or, when estrogen is lacking, support estrogenic function. * Progestex Plus is fragrance free, and free of all commonly used xenoestrogenic or questionable cosmetic ingredients, including alcohol, methylparaben, propylparaben, PEG-8 stearate, polysorbates, and propylene glycol. Progestex Plus's unique liposome-mediated delivery system carries the progesterone directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the metabolic processes required by other transdermals, assuring its effectiveness. It absorbs within seconds, leaving a fresh, clean-feeling skin.* |
| Description of Progestex Plus Progesterone Cream with Phytoestrogens from Allergy Research Group®: After menopause, the risks of osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease increase substantially, possibly linked to deficiencies of estrogens and progesterone.* Women often produce enough estrogen during perimenopause, but some women in menopause or postmenopause who have been using only progesterone may experience a recurrence of symptoms associated with low estrogen levels. Progestex Plus provides phytoestrogens from Soya, Dong quai, Black cohosh, Red Clover blossom, and Licorice root extracts. * Soya contains isoflavonoids and flavonoids, including genistein, which exert mild estrogenic effects, useful for restoring balance during menopause. Black Cohosh was used by Native Americans for menstrual cramps, and modern clinical trials report benefits for menopausal women, including help with mood disorders. Red Clover contains isoflavones that function as antioxidants, and that support healthy blood flow. They may also support the health of the bones, including bone density. Dong Quai has a long history of use for menopause and can help balance estrogen function. Licorice is another estrogen modulator which supports adrenal gland function. * In addition to the phytoestrogens, the progesterone in Progestex Plus supports estrogen function. Lack of natural progesterone can effect both the amount and efficacy of estrogen. The natural progesterone molecule is a precursor to estrogen and certain other hormones. Additionally, having the correct amount of progesterone in the system can sensitize estrogen receptors, helping the endogenous estrogen function properly. * Progesterone and estrogen work together, and both are needed for balance. Natural progesterone stimulates osteoblasts (bone building), protects against breast fibrocysts, aids thyroid hormone activity, helps the body to use fat for energy and to normalize blood sugar levels, enhances cell oxygenation, normalizes blood clotting, restores libido, normalizes zinc & copper levels, protects the embryo, and functions as a natural diuretic and a natural mood-enhancer. Progesterone is crucial in the production of cortiscosterone and nerve myelin. Dr. John Lee offers evidence that it helps normalize imbalances associated with reproductive organ and breast cell proliferation. Millions of women have found progesterone to be helpful in the areas of PMS and inflammatory conditions of the breasts, ovaries, endometrium, uterus, and pelvis. * Progesterone is made in the ovaries of women, as well as the adrenal glands of both sexes. It is normal for women's progesterone levels to vary during the monthly menstrual cycle. During the first two weeks of a normal menstrual cycle, estrogen is the dominant hormone. Starting just before ovulation, estrogen levels drop and progesterone levels increase, up to an average of 22 mg per day approximately a week after ovulation. Increased progesterone levels during ovulation increase the sex drive, but if the ova is not fertilized, progesterone production levels decline abruptly, triggering menstruation. If fertilization occurs, the placenta takes over and increases progesterone production, with levels reaching as high as 400 mg per day during the last three months of pregnancy. Progesterone is critical for the survival of the fetus, and if levels drop, abortion follows. * Natural progesterone cream may reduce the symptoms and discomfort of PMS, premenopause and menopause, without any of the negative effects associated with 'hormone replacement' therapy. This is really hormone dis-placement, because the most common estrogen used is derived from horse urine, and the progestins used are altered from the natural progesterone molecule. These modified versions are not found in normal metabolism and do not provide many of the functions of real progesterone. Until recently, this hormone displacement therapy was routinely advised by gynecologists for menopausal women in the belief that it offered protection against osteoporosis and relief from menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. Side effects from progestins include mental depression, insomnia, cervical erosion, edema, acne, and pulmonary embolism. * Made to the highest standards, Progestex Plus is fragrance free and uses natural grapefruit seed extract as a preservative against bacteria, fungi, yeast, and other harmful organisms. Progestex Plus is the premier way to regain balance with natural progesterone, while also supporting estrogen function with phytoestrogens. * References available upon request.
