What is the difference between Cream vs. Oral Progesterone?

Many people ask whether they should use oral progesterone or cream. When you take oral progesterone, it goes straight to the liver where it is converted into allopregnanolone - a derivative of progesterone. It is recognized on a lab test as progesterone, but is not able to attach to progesterone receptor sites s effectively losing approximately 80-85% efficacy. The side effects cause drowsiness, which is why they recommend taking it at night. The cream, however, enters your bloodstream and bypasses the liver which explains why it is much more effective than oral progesterone.

What is the difference between synthetic and bio-identical hormones?

It is important to differentiate between natural, bio-identical progesterone and synthetic progestogens. Bio-identical progesterone is identical to the progesterone produced in the body. Progestogens are synthetic, and are the ones that are found in birth control pills, hormonal IUD's, and drugs like Provera. Progesterone receptors will not transport progestogens to the nucleus of a cell and thereby they can never duplicate the action of natural progesterone. They are also responsible for almost 100% of the listed side effects attributed to synthetic progesterone, including cancer.

Do women need progesterone post hysterectomy?

Progesterone cream is the most important hormone to replace after a hysterectomy. Progesterone is breast protective and any woman choosing to use estradiol post hysterectomy will be healthier with progesterone to counterbalance the effects of estrogen. In addition, Progesterone plays a key role in brain, bone, and cardiac function.

Do you need bio-identical hormones after 60 years old?

Whether or not you may still have symptoms, as we age, we are at a higher risk of heart disease and cancer. The cancer stats below relate to a risk of endometrial and breast cancer. Consider the fact that our bodies never stop making estrogen but does stop producing progesterone, you are at risk of developing breast and uterine cancer. Even if your blood tests show low, you are still storing estrogen in your tissues, which blood tests to not detect.

What are the symptoms of low progesterone?

The symptoms of low progesterone are caused by not opposing estrogen dominance. Low progesterone symptoms may include irregular or heavy periods, spotting between cycles, mood changes, sleep problems, low libido, headaches, weight gain, and hot flashes. These symptoms often appear during perimenopause or hormonal imbalance when progesterone levels decline and hormone balance is disrupted.

Suggested Use

Apply the cream to areas with thinner skin, such as the inner arms, back of the neck, chest, palms, or soles of the feet. Rotate application sites to optimize absorption. For best results, consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage based on your specific needs.

The recommended application is 50 mg of progesterone, which is contained in 1 g (1/4 teas - about the size of a dime) of the cream. There are 85 grams per bottle or 85 applications (75-85 pumps). One application is approximately one pump, although the amount pumped may vary.

Each pump is "approximately" 1/4 teas of 50 mg. Please apply the appropriate pressure to obtain this amount. You may need to measure when first starting out.

For those with increased adrenaline, we recommend using the cream 1-3 minutes before meals. Do this up to four times a day. When you achieve your desired results, you can reduce applications to 2-3 times a day.

If you have trouble sleeping at night, it is recommended that you eat a low-glycemic carbohydrate just before going to bed and apply the cream again just before eating your bedtime snack.

Considerations

Progesterone supports hormone balance throughout the body. It helps balance estrogen, calm the nervous system, support restful sleep, regulate menstrual cycles, and promote metabolic, bone, and bladder health. Progesterone also helps buffer excess adrenaline and insulin activity, supporting overall hormonal and metabolic balance in both women and men (helps protect prostate health).
