Progesterone Is The Key To Balance
Progesterone is one of the most important hormones your body makes naturally – but for some of us (and at different times in our lives), the body doesn’t produce enough progesterone without support.
Progesterone is a natural anti-inflammatory that stimulates a calming effect in the brain and nervous system. It’s also the precursor to cortisol production (the adrenal stress hormone) and P54 (the gene that prompts non-functioning or malignant cell death).
Your body requires progesterone to –
Maintain a healthy stress response
Calm down for sleep
Regulate the menstrual cycle
Maintain a healthy pregnancy
Relieve symptoms of perimenopause & menopause
Adequate levels of progesterone help protect you from estrogen-mediated cancers like melanoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, and uterine cancer.
Importantly, you need a higher ratio of progesterone to other hormones in the body.
For example, healthy women produce 10 to 50 times more progesterone than estrogen.
With a highly-concentrated bioidentical progesterone supplement, you can balance your hormones, regulate your cycles, heal from symptoms of PMS – even maintain a healthy pregnancy!

Important ingredient
Our progesterone is sourced from the Mexican Wild Yam and converted to pure USP Progesterone (to meet the standards of the United States Pharmacopeia for strength, purity and quality).
Progesterone from Wild Yam:Extracted from wild yams to be bioidentical (just like your body produces), progesterone is a powerful hormone promotes memory, eases PMS and anxiety, improves insomnia and libido, while reducing inflammation/joint pain, hot flashes and weight gain.
Pregnenolone:Pregnenolone is known as the "mother hormone," pregnenolone enhances both memory and cognition; fights fatigue, stress and depression; helps arthritis and lowers cholesterol.
Tri-Peptide 29:When applied to skin, Tri-peptide 29 strengthens skin's supportive elements, improving uneven texture, reducing the look of fine lines and improving hydration. Its small size means it's more easily absorbed to reach its target areas quickly.
Grape Seed Extract:High in antioxidants, it can lower blood pressure, while improving collagen levels and bone strength. Grape seed extract also supports brain function, reduces kidney damage and cancer risk, and aids in wound healing.
Coconut Fruit Extract: There's good reason to love coconuts. They support a heart health, stabilizes blood sugar levels, protect from oxidative damage, promote weight loss and improve skin's overall health.
FAQ
Why do women need Progesterone?
Why do women need Progesterone?
The body uses progesterone in hundreds of ways. Progesterone is typically associated with the reproductive cycle, but there is so much more. Progesterone is important for breast health, brain health, bone health, digestion, inflammation, reducing cholesterol, supporting cardiovascular health, enhancing thyroid function AND it helps with moods. You get the point - we could go on. Just because women are past menopause, it does not mean we don't benefit from bioidentical progesterone.
Why Can Women Get So Depleted in Progesterone?
Why Can Women Get So Depleted in Progesterone?
Several factors make it more likely for your progesterone levels to drop.
The 3 primary factors are:
Age
As you get older, your estrogen and progesterone levels both drop. However, because progesterone drops more significantly, the estrogen to progesterone ratio becomes higher than it was when you were younger, which is associated with estrogen dominance symptoms.
Take a look at the chart below—it shows the drop of estrogen and progesterone over time. Can you see how, for example, a woman age 35 has her estrogen and progesterone at about 1:1 ratio? Now take a look at how that changes when she is 55: her estrogen, even though it’s lower, it’s more dominant as compared to her progesterone levels.
This imbalance may also account for why older women are more likely to develop estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer at the later age—the culprit is estrogen dominance with low progesterone levels.
Stress
Stress can cause progesterone levels to drop. When we are stressed, we produce and release higher levels of the hormone cortisol. Both cortisol and progesterone are produced from pregnenolone. When you are in chronic stress, the body will prioritize and divert the available pregnenolone to produce higher amounts of cortisol to help you get through stress.
This means there might not be enough to produce sufficient levels of progesterone. This is called “pregnenolone steal” and it’s the leading cause of low progesterone problems.
Toxic Skincare and House Cleaning Products
The use of toxic cosmetic products or house cleaning products introduce molecules known as xenoestrogens, which interfere with normal female sexual hormone activity. Using these types of products can cause imbalances in the estrogen to progesterone ratio and thereby lead to symptoms associated with low progesterone.
Other causes can be:
- Antidepressants
- Excessive arginine consumption (often used in heart and blood vessel conditions including congestive heart failure (CHF), chest pain, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease)
- High sugar consumption, high blood sugar levels
- Consumption of trans fats
- Deficiency of vitamins A, B6, C and zinc
Topical or Oral Form of Progesterone?
Topical or Oral Form of Progesterone?
Putting topical progesterone on your body allows it to bypass digestion and the liver which is good for two reasons.
One, you don’t tax your digestion and liver with yet another compound to be absorbed and metabolized.
Two, if your gut and liver aren’t functioning optimally, you are running the risk of your body breaking down progesterone into “dirty” progesterone metabolites, which can be harmful.
Furthermore, oral progesterone is largely converted to allopregnanolone on its first pass through the liver. This isn’t the best choice as a progesterone replacement therapy because allopregnanolone attaches to GABA receptors, creating anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and somniferous (induces sleep) effects. Oral progesterone does not offer all the other benefits of progesterone (described above).
For these reasons, I recommend progesterone in a topical form, not an oral form.
Where to Apply Topical Progesterone and Why
Where to Apply Topical Progesterone and Why
Rotate where you apply the topical progesterone, and in doing so, switch between fatty and non-fatty areas. Whereas fat will store the progesterone and absorb the progesterone into capillary blood, progesterone applied to thinner areas will more readily be taken up into the body and metabolized.
Uptake is best in the places where you blush—such as the face, neck, and chest. Rotating whether progesterone is put on fat or thin areas of the body can help to produce both immediate and sustained benefits of topical progesterone.
When to Use Topical Progesterone?
When to Use Topical Progesterone?
Women finished with menstruation (or nearly finished with menstruation)
Women going through peri-menopause, menopause, and post-menopause; who suffer from sleep disruption, hot flashes, or night sweats, can use topical progesterone for up to 25 days out of a 30-day calendar, with 5-7 days off, or as recommended by your healthcare provider.
Menstruating women
Menstruating women are advised to use topical progesterone 5 to 7 days after the first day of your period and continue until the next period begins. Day 1 is the first day of your menstrual bleed. If your period is irregular, start using topical progesterone 7 days after you begin a period and teach your body to learn a new cycle. Stop whenever your period comes back again, and repeat, or apply as recommended by your healthcare provider.
Women with no ovulation like in the case of PCOS can pick a day and start 7 days after the first day of the period and continue until the period starts again.
