Best Answer:  One thing I like about this product is that there is a phone number where you can speak to a doctor and ask questions. The number is on the product. I have been using Ererita pro-gets since I was 48 and just turned 65. Keeps me in balance. I love it and my family and friends do too.

Best Answer:  I agree with your doctor. This is a great product to naturally replace the estrogen cycle after menopause, thus keeping the bones healthy and strong. I have used it for a while now and am very pleased with how it keeps the hot flashes in check too.

Best Answer:  I have used Pro Gest for at least ten years, beginning during perimenopause and now during menopause. As a person who is also very sensitive to chemicals, perfumes, fragrance, and medications, I can relate to your concerns about experiencing side effects. For me, there have never been
any negative effects for me from using this product. Personally, I'm not
aware of if specifically helping with anxiety and fat loss, but perhaps I'm
just not aware of that use. I hope that helps.

Best Answer:  Joann,
Women of any age may benefit from the use of natural progesterone. Pro-Gest includes instructions in the package for use by women who still have menstrual cycles and for those who are menopausal or post-menopausal.

For an excellent thorough but not overly technical explanation of the benefit of progesterone cream for women of all ages, you might want to read Dr. John Lee's book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause". This book is available from many sources including amazon and local public libraries.

You might also be able to find a health care practitioner in your area who can offer an evaluation of your need for progesterone through saliva testing, questionnaires, or other means

Best Answer:  From the Emerita site:
What is the source of progesterone?
The progesterone is sourced from the Mexican Wild Yam and converted to pure progesterone, which is why the Mexican Wild Yam does not appear on the ingredient list.

Hope this helps.

Best Answer:  Dear LaDonna,
I don't have this condition and use Pro Gest as a way to maintain some hormonal balance. I'm in my 70s. Good luck.

Best Answer:  It is plant based, takes the place of our natural progesterone and when used with the natural estrogen seems to mimic the natural bodily hormones. I've used it for about 15 years and haven't died yet!

Best Answer:  I have been taking thyroid medicine and Pro-gest cream together for over 20 years with no problems. My labs that I have taken at least twice a year confirm this.
