Q: Why is cold-pressed so important?

A: Cold-pressed has to do with the oils that carry the progesterone cream into your body and ultimately to the receptor sites. Cold-pressed oils are pulled out of the seed and are not extracted by high heat. As with any food, when you heat it to high temperatures, you remove the enzymes. When you eat the food, the vitamins and minerals are still present, but you must add enzymes or your body will not be able to access them. It is the same here. Since our oils are cold-processed, they enter the skin more naturally, increasing the bioavailability of the product.

Q: Where can I purchase Cycle Balance Progesterone Cream?

A: Our Hormone Balancing Cream, Cycle Balance Cream, is also sold through distributors. You might want to visit our distributor sites as well and gain valuable information about progesterone in general. Please see our Information Links to find a place to purchase, or contact us about purchasing wholesale in bulk.

Q: Where does your progesterone come from, and is it certified?

A: Our Progesterone is micronized progesterone USP from wild yam only. We purchase progesterone and estriol from a US supplier only. This allows us to get certificates of analysis from US-based labs. This helps us when there is a difference between the certificates provided and our own tests.

Q: What is lanol exactly?

A: Lanol, a vegetable ester, is a blend of refined vegetable oils. The blend of these oils changes some in proportions at times, but the major oils in the product are Soybean, Apricot Kernel, Sweet Almond, Safflower, and Sunflower oil. It is listed as lanol because otherwise the labeling would have to be changed continually. Our labels carry the most updated information, but at this time (9/2014), the ingredients are…

Cycle Balance Cream Ingredients: Purified water, Carthamus tinctorius (Safflower) seed oil, Sepigel 305 (polyacrylamide, C13-14 isoparaffin, laureth-7), Progesterone USP, Hemp seed oil, Oenothera biennis (Evening Primrose) oil, Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) kernel oil, Vitis vinifera (Grape) seed oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) oil, Aloe barbadensis (Aloe Vera gel extract), Potassium Sorbate, Sorbic acid

Q: What if I am allergic to soy?

A: Remember that our product is derived from wild yam and not soy.

Q: Can progesterone cream cause acne or does progesterone cream cause acne?

A: Acne is caused by many things. Cyclic acne, for which many people use progesterone cream, is usually due to hormonal imbalance when follicles do not mature properly and therefore erupt prematurely under the skin, causing pimples much like immature ovarian follicles will cause cysts. Progesterone is actually commonly used to balance hormones, which subsequently results in clearing up acne or cyclic acne. Consider Cycle Balance Plus or Female Hormone Balance, both found at Whole Family Products.

Each woman is unique in how her body produces and responds to progesterone. Some women will require more, while others will require less to help alleviate their symptoms. Normally, when starting out, it’s recommended to use the maximum dosage for about 3 months. Cut back the amount used each month until the symptoms of progesterone deficiency disappear. It’s very important to stop progesterone cream usage for at least 5 to 7 days each month.

Where should the progesterone cream be applied?

For optimum benefits, the cream should be applied to thin skin areas: inner arms, neck, chest, belly, lower back, and inner thighs. The areas should be rotated at least every three days because the hormone receptors in the skin will become clogged. It’s okay to rotate the areas daily.

Who needs to use natural progesterone cream?

1. Endometriosis or Fibrocystic Breasts – Both of these conditions are caused by high estrogen levels. Using a Natural Progesterone Cream may alleviate the symptoms and/or accelerate the healing process.

2. Estrogen Dominance – If you have any of the symptoms of estrogen dominance, such as:

• Breast swelling
• Craving for sweets
• Depression
• Fibrocystic breasts
• Loss of libido
• Mood swings
• Water

3. Menopausal Symptoms – This is caused by excess production of estrogen (see estrogen dominance) and has the added symptom of hot flashes.

4. Osteoporosis – Women over 50 are at risk for osteoporosis; natural progesterone cream is the ultimate weapon against this condition.

5. PMS – If you suffer from PMS, this indicates a hormonal imbalance. PMS consists of any of the following:

• A luteal phase (the time from ovulation to menstruation) is shorter than 10 days.
• Headaches
• Cramps
• Moodiness
• Spotting right before the cycle is due.

6. Vaginal Dryness – This is caused by hormonal imbalances and can be present in women who are breastfeeding, who are menopausal, or postmenopausal.

When to use natural progesterone cream?

Menstruating Women – Will start the cream after ovulation has been confirmed (or, if you are not able to confirm ovulation, you can start on day 12-14). Use the cream up to 14 days prior to the bleeding period. Stop the cream when bleeding starts. If you experience bad abdominal cramps rub a small amount of cream into your lower belly. If you experience migraine headaches, rub a bit of cream into your temples or the back of your neck.

Post Menopausal Women – Start the cream and use it twice a day for 3 weeks – then go off a week. The day you start is arbitrary; choose your own day.

Pre-Menopausal Women – Start the cream on day 10 and stop the cream on day 26 for the first 3 months. After 3 months, start the cream on day 12-14 and stop on day 26.

Pregnant Women – To protect against miscarriage and preterm labor/ premature birth later – start out using ¼ to ½ teaspoon twice a day, rubbed into the neck, chest, abdomen, lower back, and inner thighs. Starting around the 2nd trimester, increase to 3 times a day. At around 36 weeks start to wean off to twice a day – at 37 weeks once a day – stop completely at 38 weeks.

It’s safe to resume the cream about 4 weeks after delivery – and if breastfeeding, use it as postmenopausal – if bottle feeding – use it as menstruating. The cream may help relieve and manage postpartum depression. It’s safe to go on the cream before 4 weeks if you are breastfeeding, as soon as your milk supply is strong.

Pre-teen Girls – Girls ages 9-13 who aren’t menstruating yet can use the cream. Use ¼ teaspoon twice a day for 3 weeks – take a one-week break. Once the menstrual cycles begin – use the cream according to the menstruating dosage.

The onset of menstruation causes blood calcium levels to be low. This causes PMS symptoms to start a year or so before the actual menarche. Moodiness and craving for sweets are signs of PMS in a pre-menstruating girl. The use of progesterone cream will help to balance the hormones and take away the undesired symptoms making the girl feel good and be in optimum health with little to no PMS.

Other Progesterone Cream Questions and Answers

Are there additional benefits to using natural progesterone cream?

Yes, the additional benefits are:

• Diminished muscular aches and pains
• Improvement of skin problems including Acne, Keratosis, Psoriasis, Rosacea, Seborrhea
• Improved sleep patterns

Can men use natural progesterone?

Yes, men over age 45 can benefit from progesterone cream. Progesterone is made by both males and females, less so in males. But as men age, the production of progesterone declines. The benefits of natural progesterone for men are to increase the libido, helps to balance the testosterone which in turn helps bones to be stronger, and helps to combat osteoporosis. Progesterone cream has been shown to help relieve the pain from rheumatoid arthritis too.

Do I need a prescription from a doctor for natural progesterone cream?

In the USA, no. Because the natural progesterone comes from wild yams and or soybeans it is considered a food product.

Should I switch from the hormones my doctor prescribed to the natural progesterone cream?

This is between you and your healthcare provider. But the facts are that synthetic progesterone or progestin has many ill side effects and synthetic estrogen can be detrimental to your health. Natural progesterone resembles your own progesterone and your body will not have the ill side effects from using the cream. You need to wean off the synthetic hormones over 90 days before discontinuing the use altogether.

What about a family history of breast or uterine cancer?

It is perfectly safe to use natural progesterone cream if breast and/or uterine cancer are an issue. Unopposed estrogen is known to cause cancer in these areas. Progesterone acts to balance the entire endocrine system, thus keeping the estrogens in check and balance thus lowering the risk of contracting these cancers.

What about facial hair?

If you are inclined to suffer from a condition called hirsutism or excessive growth of facial and body hair, then you have a hormonal imbalance. Progesterone will act as a regulator and balance all the hormones including the estrogen/testosterone imbalance that causes hirsutism. Normally, women who suffer from this have severe PMS too. Natural progesterone will act to balance the hormones thus relieving the symptoms of hirsutism.

What about using estrogen?

Estrogen is very dangerous to use unless you’ve had a blood or saliva hormone test and show that you are deficient in estrogen and this should be done after trying natural progesterone cream. Estrogen should never be used without progesterone as it can cause endometrial and vaginal carcinomas. Estrogen can harm the thyroid and can cause water retention, fibrocystic breasts, and fibroid tumors and cysts in the ovaries.

What about women who have had a partial or complete hysterectomy?

Having the uterus and/or ovaries removed will put a woman into menopause, thus, causing the menopause symptom of hot flashes. Natural progesterone cream will help to restore the imbalance caused by the surgery. Normally, all hot flashes will cease within 3 to 8 weeks of use.

What is natural progesterone?

Natural progesterone is a cholesterol derivative that comes from wild yams or soybeans. This natural progesterone matches our body’s progesterone perfectly, thus, the reason that using a natural progesterone cream causes no ill side effects.

Synthetic progestin is an altered form of progesterone. It does not resemble the progesterone in our bodies and thus causes many different side effects such as:

• Abortion
• Asthma
• Cardiac or kidney dysfunction
• Depression
• Epilepsy
• Fluid Retention

Will natural progesterone help to prevent or cure osteoporosis?

Studies have shown that women who use natural progesterone cream will help fight osteoporosis.

Will using the natural progesterone cause me to start menstruating again if I’m postmenopausal?

It is possible while the natural progesterone cream works to balance your hormones that you may experience some breakthrough bleeding. This is normal and due to the hormones balancing. As the progesterone rids the body of the excess estrogens, the result may be some minor breakthrough bleeding. Normally, this won’t last longer than a couple of months – then once the hormones are balanced, the body will resume the normal postmenopausal absence of bleeding. If bleeding does not cease after several months, you may need to seek the advice of your physician.

This is an analogy of how I like to compare what progesterone is and how it works. The hormones in the body are like a fine-tuned symphony. Each hormone represents an instrument. If the hormones are in balance, then everything hums along (like instruments being in tune and making beautiful music). Progesterone can be compared to cymbals. If progesterone is out of balance (from taking chemical hormones or for other reasons), the cymbals are replaced by trash can lids.

If you try to play a symphony piece with trash can lids instead of beautiful cymbals, the song will be irritating, it won’t sound right, and it won’t work right. Much like if progesterone is out of balance in the body, something just isn’t quite right.

Because progesterone runs the show with the endocrine system, if there’s a hormonal issue, just balancing the progesterone alone will often help to address the other issues, including thyroid dysfunction.

Progesterone is made in our bodies from cholesterol. In women, it’s also produced by the corpus luteum at the ovary after ovulation. Its primary purpose, aside from dictating the entire endocrine system, is to help maintain the uterine lining for pregnancy. The best natural progesterone cream, Cycle Balance Cream, is designed to help women achieve improved hormonal health.

A deficiency in progesterone can cause:

• PMS
• miscarriage
• preterm labor
• premature birth.
• A deficiency can cause postpartum depression after delivery.

• To provide a broad range of core biological effects.

About Natural Progesterone Deficiency

As we age, we begin to produce less and less progesterone; hence, there is less likelihood that a woman in her 50’s will get pregnant compared to one in her 20’s or 30’s. When we have a progesterone deficiency early on in life, however, it can have an overall impact on our health, especially as we age. All women need a proper balance of natural progesterone in order to metabolize glucose, help with bone growth (in order to stave off osteoporosis), convert fat into energy, and perform an array of other important cell functions.

The impact a natural progesterone deficiency has on a woman’s life is varied and may include one or more of the following symptoms:

1. Carbohydrate cravings, leading to weight gain
2. Depression
3. Memory Loss
4. Insomnia
5. Water retention
6. Puffiness/bloating
7. Breast tenderness
8. Lower body temperature
9. Cramping
10. Ovarian cysts
11. Irregular periods
12. Infertility/not ovulating
13. Early miscarriage

The causes by which women become deficient in progesterone levels are as varied as the symptoms themselves. In some instances, the cause may simply be stress. Studies have shown that women who lead fast-paced and stressful lifestyles tend to have low levels of progesterone. Diet can also be another cause. Women who eat very few vegetables and whole, healthy foods can also become progesterone deficient. Other causes include adrenal gland disorders, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism.

The USP progesterone in the best natural progesterone cream, Cycle Balance Cream, is bio-identical to the natural progesterone your body would manufacture.

Read about Cycle Balance Cream PLUS, which contains many herbs to help with its hormone-balancing effects as well. Days before a woman begins menstruating, her progesterone levels begin to increase, and outbreaks of acne tend to occur at this time. While progesterone itself does not cause acne, it has somewhat of an androgenic effect.

Natural Progesterone Cream and Acne Management

It has been widely recognized and advocated by alternative medicine practitioners that natural progesterone cream acne solutions can not only help clear out acne, but they can also help with other symptoms that occur when women begin menstruating. It is said that progesterone cream may also help balance out a woman’s hormones. Generally, most medical practitioners will simply look to treat acne with acids, antibiotics, and benzoyl peroxide. While these remedies can improve the outbreak of acne, they tend not to eliminate it entirely. Natural progesterone cream, however, appears to have more success in not only managing and stopping the development of acne but also in eliminating it entirely. Hormone therapy, which includes natural progesterone cream, may be an effective remedy for acne. Natural Progesterone Cream Acne alternative will not burn your face but will balance hormones in order to help stop the outbreak of cyclic and chronic acne. If you are concerned about hormonal imbalance causing acne, PMS, and painful periods (dysmenorrhea) as well, read more about an herbal product called Female Hormone Balance.

Needless to say, when you have amenorrhea of any kind and it is not what you planned, it is scary and confusing. Time goes on and on, and you wonder when you will menstruate again. There is a positive difference between common anovulatory amenorrhea and sports amenorrhea.

What Is Amenorrhea?

First, what is amenorrhea? Loosely defined from Wikipedia: Amenorrhoea, amenorrhea, or amenorrhœa, (spelled 3 ways) is the absence of a menstrual period in a woman of reproductive age. It is defined as the absence of menses for three months in a woman with previously normal menstruation or nine months for women with a history of oligomenorrhea (infrequent or unusually light menstruation).

Mayo Clinic states that DHEA has been studied for its effects on menstrual disorders; especially amenorrhea. Dr. Lee studied natural progesterone cream for its use in restoring ovulation after anovulatory cycles. It is not as simple as just jump-starting the cycle when it is sports amenorrhea but ovulation must be coaxed along.

Cycle Balance Natural Progesterone Cream® is a non-comedogenic (meaning it does not cause a reaction) cold-processed cream (meaning that it is not heated above a temperature that would affect its integrity) that is free of isopropyl palmitates, glycerol stearate, octyl palmitate, stearic acid, DEA, triethanolamine (TEA), dimethicone, cyclomethicone, PEG, alcohols, emulsifying wax, dyes, colors, and mineral oil. Lanol (a vegetable ester) is blended with Aloe Vera and a dermal delivery system. Lanol has a reputation as one of the finest cosmetic moisturizers and is reputed to maintain a youthful appearance; Aloe Vera is world renowned for its capabilities to hydrate the skin.

Micronized Natural Progesterone: Micronized Natural Progesterone is the “official” term for natural progesterone, which is identical to the progesterone your body would manufacture itself in a normal state. It is NOT a synthetic progesterone. It is derived naturally; the molecular chain has not been tampered with; the chain is the same, and the chemical make-up is identical to your own. Medroxyprogesterone, AKA progestins, has a different molecular structure than progesterone. The body does not manufacture medroxyprogesterone and it does not convert it the same. Do not be fooled into believing you are using natural progesterone cream when you are prescribed medroxyprogesterone or progestins. According to Dr. John R. Lee, MD, the body will become dependent on the chemical (medroxyprogesterone, or progestins) and, since it is chemically stronger, will not be able to produce its own as needed. A sort of dependency takes place. Also, you should know that it is medroxyprogesterone that is found in birth control pills. ONLY Micronized Natural Progesterone is found in Cycle Balance Progesterone Cream®.

Aloe Vera: According to Wikipedia.org, Aloe vera Researchers at the University of Miguel Hernández in Alicante, Spain, have developed a gel based on Aloe vera that prolongs the conservation of fresh produce, such as fresh fruit and (something is missing here—maybe vegetables?). This gel is tasteless, colorless, and odorless. This natural product is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic preservatives such as sulfur dioxide. The study found that grapes coated with this gel could be stored for 35 days at 1°C, compared to 7 days for untreated grapes. According to the researchers, this gel operates through a combination of mechanics (Serrano et al., 2006), forming a protective layer against the oxygen and moisture of the air and inhibiting, through its various antibiotic and antifungal compounds, the action of microorganisms that cause foodborne illnesses.

Essential Omega Oils: According to Wikipedia.org, GLA is sometimes prescribed in the belief that it has anti-inflammatory properties without some of the common side effects of other anti-inflammatory drugs. Herbal medicine advocates recommend GLA for autoimmune disorders, arthritis, eczema, and PMS, with noticeable results not expected for months. Research is ongoing to investigate GLA as a potential anticancer agent. GLA is unique among the omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic acid, GLA, and arachidonic acid) in its potential to suppress tumor growth and metastasis.

Sorbic acid and potassium sorbate: Sorbic acid and its mineral salts, such as…potassium sorbate… are antimicrobial agents often used as preservatives in food and drinks to prevent the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi.

Lanol (vegetable ester): Lanol is a cosmetic moisturizer known to maintain a youthful appearance.

Sepigel: Is vegetable-based and used in soaps, creams, and shampoos to give them creaminess and thickness. It breaks down as you apply it, so it is not as thick during application.
The most important thing about sepigel in our product is that it allows us to create something that is more bioavailable because the ingredients are not “cooked,” only warmed. The efficacy of the ingredients is intact because of the cold-processing.

Progesterone is produced by the ovary once the egg matures and is released. A cyst forms in the area called the corpus luteum, and this is what produces progesterone during the second half of a woman’s reproductive cycle. Progesterone is also produced by the adrenal cortex and by the placenta when pregnancy occurs.

The primary function of progesterone is to regulate the entire endocrine system (balancing all hormones in the body. Reproductively, progesterone helps to maintain and thicken the uterine lining in the luteal phase of the cycle; it also helps to maintain a pregnancy when a fertilized egg implants.

If progesterone is unbalanced, it can cause many areas of the body to become unbalanced and “sick.” The main way you can tell if you have a progesterone deficiency is if you suffer from PMS. This is just the surface of the damage that a deficiency in this hormone can cause. The good news is that it’s easily remedied.

Progestin is a man-made chemical that is supposed to resemble or replace progesterone. If progesterone is a cymbal in the symphony of the body, then progestin is the trash can lid; while it may resemble progesterone, it’s not quite the same, therefore it can adversely affect the body.

Progestin is used in chemical birth control and in hormone replacement therapy. Progestin suppresses ovulation, thus avoiding all the indications of ovulation: possible pregnancy, PMS, fibroid growth, endometriosis growth, etc. But because progestin is artificial, it’s not beneficial to the body and will cause side effects such as imbalanced hormones.

It’s because nothing replaces progesterone as well as a natural progesterone cream derived from wild yams or soybeans.

The post Difference Between Progesterone and Progestins appeared first on Cycle Balance Natural Progesterone Cream.

How to use progesterone in pregnancy is one of our most popular questions. Progesterone is normally made in abundance during pregnancy. Normal, of course, means if all things were functioning as they should and all hormones were in balance.

At first, it is produced by the corpus luteum from an egg released from the ovary. Once the fertilized egg implants, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone, usually around 8 weeks. It is before this time that a high percentage of miscarriages take place.

Progesterone helps maintain the pregnancy by keeping the uterine lining intact. Progesterone counteracts certain miscarriages and helps reduce the rate of spontaneous preterm labor and premature birth later on in much the same way. But what if progesterone is deficient? Unfortunately, what happens is miscarriage, preterm labor, and premature birth.

How can a deficiency in progesterone during pregnancy be remedied? There are several ways. Your conventional doctor may prescribe pills, shots, or vaginal suppositories.

Or you can use transdermal natural progesterone creams. With natural progesterone cream, a prescription is not needed in the US.

Unfortunately, most conventional, traditional physicians either don’t know of the benefits of a natural progesterone cream or won’t advocate using it. Usually, it’s because they are uneducated on the use of natural remedies, and a natural progesterone cream is not being promoted by the major drug companies. This is when self-education is so important.

The FDA requires the statement “Always seek the advice of your physician before taking or using any natural remedy” on all websites for the sake of reminding the buyer to be careful. We agree. Do your homework and make a good decision.

Now that we have all the legalities out of the way, let’s go on to talk about the benefits of natural progesterone cream during pregnancy.

The number one question asked is:

How safe is natural progesterone cream to use during pregnancy?

Because the progesterone in a natural progesterone cream is bio-identical in molecular structure to the progesterone your body produces, there are no ill effects from using the cream all the way through pregnancy. As a matter of fact, those who have written on the subject for many years recommend it be continued through weeks 36-38.

Compare natural progesterone cream to the prescriptions a physician will normally prescribe. When a patient’s progesterone level is low, the pills or suppositories are prescribed at various stages of pregnancy.

The suppositories are given from ovulation until about 7 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the danger of miscarriage has passed.

The progesterone shots are given later in pregnancy to inhibit preterm labor and premature birth. These are given if the “preterm labor” test comes back positive or if there’s a known history of preterm labor and premature birth.

Natural progesterone cream is just as effective as the pills, suppositories, and shots. There is a difference in how it is prescribed and administered, as well as how the decision is made by the attending physician.

Millions of women have used the cream with great results. I can say that I have used it in my last 2 of 5 children’s pregnancies after having 7 miscarriages among our other 3 children. This is what started us in the infertility and hormonal health world.

Now, there are some traditional doctors who have researched the use of natural progesterone cream and are recommending their patients use it during pregnancy.

The benefits of using a natural progesterone cream are that it is both effective and cost-efficient. There are documented cases of women who had previously suffered from both miscarriage and preterm labor/premature birth but conceived and carried their baby to full term because they used a natural progesterone cream. A dear friend of ours had been bedridden with her 2 preceding children before using natural progesterone cream. She was told that she would lose her baby early on, but she carried it to term at 40 years old.

These are the stories we hear every day of women thanking us for our support and our candid stories. Many of them go through the process of going from infertility to fertility, to pregnancy, and birth. You can read about them at the Infertility Workshop.
