If symptoms of estrogen dominance are making you miserable, natural progesterone cream is usually the best way to achieve hormonal balance. At least that is the conclusion I've drawn from doctors who've worked with women for years. There are many forms of the hormone available for supplements, but the cream is most effective for regaining balance. A normal dosage to re-establish hormonal balance is usually only a fourth to a half of a teaspoon once or twice a day. If possible, it is a good idea to work with a local doctor. If that isn't possible, be sure to read What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause (TM): The Breakthrough Book on Natural Hormone Balance These books are available through local libraries, or from Amazon, if you'd like to have them for reference. Cautions:Some health stores call extracts of Wild Mexican Yam progesterone when in fact they only contain diosgenin, a phytohormone (plant based extract with hormonal effects), if you think you are taking progesterone when in fact you are only taking one of these wild yam extracts, you won't get the benefits of the hormone at all. Another name for these plant type extracts is Dioscorea. These extracts can be made into the natural hormone in a lab, but no one has shown the human body is capable of doing it. Don't be confused by these names, they are not the same thing as natural progesterone, and if someone tells you they are progesterone, they are mistaken, or intentionally misleading you. The confusion is worse because at first some of the progesterone creams were labeled "wild yam extract" to please the FDA, so the authors clarify that there are some creams that do contain progesterone, but are still labeled wild yam extract. I include this explanation so you'll understand why it is important to find a reputable source from which to buy your natural progesterone cream. The authors of the books I recommended earlier list four pages of reputable sources in the index, so if you don't want to buy any of the three I recommend here, feel free to follow any of their recommendations. The authors recommend a cream that has 960 milligrams of progesterone in a two ounce jar of cream. If the cream you buy has a different amount, you will need to adjust your dosage so that you get the same amount. They recommend salivary testing of hormone levels to be sure you are achieving balance. If that isn't possible, they say you can attain balance by using the lowest amount of natural progesterone cream that relieves your symptoms of estrogen dominance. Natural Progesterone Cream is Widely AvailableSince natural progesterone is identical to the hormone found in your body, drug companies can't patent it. So it isn't as expensive as drugs are. You can get it in a pharmacy that does compounding, or it is widely available on the internet. I'll provide several places where it is available. There will undoubtedly be one to fit your budget.The first is Kokoro Balance Cream, made by Kokoro health.You can find it by clicking the following link. Kokoro - The Leading Natural Progesterone Choice Since 1996.. You can also find several of the books I've used to research these pages on this site. The authors of the book I mentioned earlier recommend this cream because it contains the same amount of progesterone as what the women they were treating, found effective. Life Extension Foundation also makes a natural progesterone cream called Pro-Fem Progesterone Cream

With supplements you frequently get what you pay for. If you can only afford a discount product, it is worth a try, but if you try a supplement from a discount chain and it doesn't work, I would try a higher quality product before assuming the supplement won't help.
