'Natural' progesterone, rather than syntheric progesterone is, produced from Mexican yam and is available in creams, gels and oils applied to skin. Many women find this bio-identical progesterone hormone helps their hot flushes and other menopausal symptoms. It is based on the work of Dr John Lee's - the Progesterone Story.
Natural progesterone products are unregulated and not available to buy in the UK. You maybe able to get a private prescription or alternatively buy through the internet. Choose a high quality preparation based on pharmaceutical grade progesterone made from yams. Oil based are better than creams because they should contain less additives as there is no need for emulsifiers and preservatives. Also avoid preparations that include herbs, as you maybe allergic to them and some may act as xeno-oestrogens.
We advise caution when using this 'natural HRT' as there is no scientific evidence to show the effects of long-term use especially on 'hormone sensitive' cancers and stay within the recommended dosage levels.
