• What is Progesterone?

  Progesterone is sometimes thought of as the miracle hormone. It has a calming effect on both the mind and the body. Depleted amounts can cause mood swings and increased anxiety and/or depression. Progesterone is also classified as a neuro-steroid which means that it stimulates normal brain processes and helps the nervous system to function properly.

  Fertility and menstruation are largely controlled by hormones, and one of these hormones is progesterone. Progesterone is a steroid hormone belonging to a class of hormones called progestogens. It is secreted by the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine gland that the female body produces after ovulation during the second half of the menstrual cycle.

• Will this cream help me with PMS or Premenopausal symptoms?

  For PMS and Premenopausal Symptoms, begin using the cream 10 to 12 days after the first day of your period. Apply the cream 2x/day from either Day 10 or 12 through Day 26 or 48 hours before the scheduled start of next period. If your period starts early, stop using the cream – Mother Nature is trying to balance your hormone levels. When your period starts count forward 12 days (10 if you normally have a shorter cycle than 28 days) and begin the program on that day. Be patient, it may take three cycles before you achieve synchrony with your normal cycle. If you have cramps, headache, swollen breasts etc., the cream may be applied directly to the problem area.

• If I’m NOT taking any estrogen can I use the Probalance Progesterone cream?

  Menopausal Women NOT taking estrogen have a wider latitude in using the cream. For convenience, you may choose a dosage schedule based on the calendar month. Use the cream 2x/day from the 2nd to the 14th or 21st of each month and none from the 15th or 22nd to the end of the month. Some women report that using a larger dab of cream at night helps them sleep better.

• If I AM taking any estrogen can I still use the Probalance Progesterone cream?

  Menopausal women taking estrogen should reduce their dosage by half when starting to use progesterone cream. This is important because in women deficient in progesterone, the cream may temporarily increase the sensitivity of estrogen receptors. If estrogen intake is not reduced, you may experience of estrogen dominance during the first couple of months. You may try lowering your estrogen dose by half again every 2-3 months. (The estrogen does should be low enough that monthly bleeding does not occur, but high enough to prevent vaginal dryness and hot flashes.) Estrogen and progesterone can be used together for up to 25 days each month, with 7 days without either hormone.

• What if I’m taking an estrogen-progesterone combination cream already do I still use this cream as well?

  Menopausal women taking an estrogen-progesterone combination should refer to Dr. John Lee’s book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause (Time-Warner Books) and definitely consult with your doctor before changing anything you may already be on.

• What are the benefits of Progesterone?

• Can I layer other creams over this cream?

  Our creams can be applied to the body at the same time on different skin areas OR mix (1-2) creams in the palm of your hand and then apply to skin area.  Avoid layering creams with non–Nutra Relief creams as other creams are made with toxic chemicals which could cause irritation.

• How long do I rub the cream on for?

  Gently massage Nutra Relief creams on skin for 30 seconds longer than a normal cream application until fully absorbed. The gentle massaging acts as a mechanism for the cream to fully penetrate the skin.

• What if I have sensitive skin?

  If you have sensitive skin the best place to apply the cream may be on the soles of your feet. These pores are 30% larger than any other location on your body which makes for an excellent absorption and application area.
