Guest guest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hello, I have started using a progesterone cream made from wild yams for the last couple months. I don't really have a ton of symptoms except for irratic periods and I haven't really noticed a difference yet. Recently I have read in Suzanne Summer's book and on line where some people don't consider wild yam cream to be real progesterone. I'm confused about this and wonder if any women here use over the counter progesterone or have an opinion about it and if there is a better version or if they all work about the same? Thanks, Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I use Ray Peat's progesterone, Progest-E. https://www.longnaturalhealth.com/products.asp?P=176 http://www.longnaturalhealth.com/library2.asp?A=67 The body only absorbs 10% of the over the counter progesterones but it absorbs 100% of Progest-E, hopefully, that is true.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi Joan, Thank you for your reply. I'll have to look into this, it looks interesting. Do you know how the progesterone is made in this product? I want to make sure it is bio-identical and not take any synthetic hormones. Now I've found another cream that the progesterone is made from soya. That doesn't sound very good either since I tend to stay away from soy. I wonder if soy processed in this way is better then regular soy?
