Progesterone is very well absorbed
transdermally (through the skin) where it is stored in the fatty
tissues for use as needed and unlike progesterone taken orally, it is
not subject to being intercepted by the liver. For those women who are
especially deficient in progesterone, it may take one to three months
to restore optimal levels. For men with prostate disorders results may
be felt within one or two days, but long term benefits may require six
months.
In the morning and at bedtime, the cream should be gently massaged by
the palms of the hands to areas of the body where one blushes: the
face, neck, chest, upper arms and other areas of the body that may
benefit from progesterone, e.g. breasts, abdomen, back of neck.
Serenity for Women is a Certified Potency Natural
Progesterone Cream that contains not less than 1,450mg. of
Natural Progesterone per (60 grams) 2.2 ounces. Informed
women have chosen the following:
At Puberty progesterone and estrogen
levels increase in preparation for pregnancy each month. So, if a woman
is living in an industrialized country that makes liberal use of
synthetic hormones in animal farming and is heavily dependent on
petro-chemical use in most personal care products, her natural
progesterone production may be signigicantly reduced. It has been
demonstrated, by the use of saliva assay, that a female can normalize
progesterone levels with a properly formulated natural progestetone
cream that is free of petro-chemicals. Dr. John Lee would
advise his female patients to "use progesterone cream until age 97, and
then let's get together and re-evaluate..."
Begin using crème 14 days from the
first day of menstruation (normally the day after ovulation). Use
approximately 1/8 teaspoon twice per day (morning and at bedtime). Stop
using the cream on day 28. Women with more severe PMS or endometriosis
have chosen to initially use twice the suggested amount of cream (1/4
teaspoon twice daily) for the first one or two months. Women who
experience uterine cramping have chosen to apply the cream just above
the pubic area at the onset of cramps. Women who experience hormone
related headaches have applied he cream to the sides of the neck and
just behind the earlobe, at the onset of headaches.
The cream should
be applied 25-26 consecutive days each month.
Discontinue for 5-6 days each month (this "time-out" is not optional).
Apply 1/8 teaspoon twice per day, morning and at bedtime, for all 25/26
days.
Women who have severe menopausal symptoms have chosen to initially
apply twice as much cream (1/4 teaspoon twice daily) for the first
month or two.
Additionally, women who are experiencing hot flashes have chosen to
apply a small dab of the cream to the inside of the wrist at the onset
of a hot flash. For those few women who still experience hot flashes,
night sweats and/or vaginal dryness a natural phyto-estrogen cream can
be used and is available here.
Informed women have applied the cream
25-26 days of the month and then discontinued for 5-6 days. 1/8
teaspoon twice per day morning and at bedtime for all 25/26 days has
been the preferred choice.
Informed Men have used Serenity 1/16th of a teaspoon at bedtime, 24
days per month.
Side Effects: There are no reports of any significant side effects or
health problems associated with natural progesterone in a chemical-free
topical cream.
Any persistent problems should always be checked by a qualified physician or other health care professional.
