Description
Bio-identical progesterone supplementation is a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The progesterone in creams can effectively travel through the skin and into the bloodstream.
Bio-identical progesterone is NOT the same as the pharmaceutical progestogens or progestins – these are not progesterone, but rather a synthetic version of the real thing, with possible side effects.
Indications for progesterone supplementation:
May assist with:
- Reducing menopause symptoms:
- Hot flashes
- Memory loss
- Fatigue
- Tender breasts
- Reduced signs of skin aging.
- Reduced bone loss that can lead to osteoporosis.
- Thyroid problems.
- Weight gain.
How to use bio-identical progesterone cream
A good time is in the morning after showering but evening also good.
Recommended dose is 0.5 – 1mg cream per day but one needs to find one’s own dose – either higher or lower than suggested.
The jar contains 1500mg of 3% progesterone and 1ml cream contains 30mg progesterone so jar should last up to 2 months.
Where do you rub the cream?
The cream is rubbed into the soft areas of the body such as:
Inner arms, inner thighs, face and neck, breasts, back of the knees etc. Anywhere the skin is soft. Use on rotational basis, 2 or 3 days in each spot so as to avoid accumulation of progesterone under the skin in one spot.

Since starting to use this cream my general grumpiness has gone ;), as well has the constant low level headaches, and my sleep has started to improve – hope that continues 🙂 Have placed another order.
Lynne Brown –
Thank you for this very useful feedback Tanya. I am so glad the cream has worked for you in so many ways and there is no reason why it shouldn’t continue to keep you happy and sleeping well.
