Progesterone and Phytoestrogens

We know through scientific discoveries that many different estrogens are produced by the body. However, there is a group of estrogen “look-alikes” 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). In fact, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trial regarding the use of synthetic estrogen and progesterone was halted three years early when the independent data and safety monitoring board decided that benefits did not outweigh the risks.

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 associated with the normal symptoms of menopause†
• Increase sex drive†
• Help use fat for energy†
• Stabilize blood sugar and mineral balance†

Self-Care

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