Does Source Naturals Natural Progesterone Cream, 4 Ounce (113.4 g) contain Parabens? How many mg of progesterone per 1/4 tsp?

500 mg Natural Progesterone USP from soy per ounce. I do not see Parabens listed in ingredients

The extensive product information received with my initial purchase specified 20 mg per dropper full. I was similar to yourself and commenced 2 x 20mg per day and now I am on 1 x 20 mg per day. But it's not just about applying the Progestelle. The product information also specifies reducing many "oestrogenic" compounds. I am also in a Facebook closed group called the "Menopause Whisperer". Lots of green smoothies!!!! Best wishes.

Yes, it is because it contains "natural progesterone," not synthetic hormones.

Hi, it says it is '100% vegan ingredients'. I notice in the ingredient list that is mentions 'methylparaben'. Methylparaben is produced naturally and found in several fruits, primarily blueberries, along with other parabens. There is controversy about whether methylparaben or propylparabens are harmful at concentrations typically used in body care or cosmetics. Methylparaben is readily absorbed through the skin and some allergic reactions have been reported. I have extremely sensitive skins and have been seeing dermatologists since I was 12. I have had no reactions to this product. (At age 61, I have also given up on dermatologists and have found one plastic surgeon who has done more with light in 5 treatments than decades of Rx from the dermatologists.) The peppermint in it gives a 'tingly/cool' reaction on the scalp. Because of my oily skins, I mainly use it on the ends and not my scalp. Good luck.

Amazon doesn't seem to support posting a picture of the label in this comment section. However, on the label, the ingredient is USP Progesterone. All USP Progesterone is made from either yams or soy. Progestelle contains USP Progesterone made from yams. Progestelle does NOT contain yam extract. Yam extract has a different physiologic response than progesterone. And the human body cannot convert yam extract to progesterone. The progesterone that is used in Progestelle comes with a Certificate of Analysis that guarantees that it is indeed USP Progesterone pharmaceutical grade. In addition, we send out a sample of the progesterone to a third party analytical chemistry laboratory to test for purity and potency by High Performance Liquid Chromatography.

I highly recommend you do internet searches on "estrogen dominance," progesterone therapy," and "bio-identical progesterone cream" before using any estrogen cream, even bio-identical. If you decide your symptoms need estrogen, I believe it should be bio-identical such as the one from this company. I only use progesterone, and only from Smoky Mountain Naturals (after trying several other brands).

Compete has 7 keto dhea in it. I think it has smaller dose of progesterone too.

The progesterone cream from Smoky Mountain Naturals is not the same as progestin from a doctor. So if someone says to never use progestin, they are not referring to the bioidentical cream. I would only use bioidentical. I have tried several companies and find Smoky Mountain Naturals to be far superior in quality and price. You're going to get conflicting opinions regarding a doctor's approval. I read Dr. Lee's book, but enough free information is available online that there's no need to buy a book.

Yes, I believe it does. I have been using natural, bio-identical progesterone and estriol creams for many years, beginning with those made at a compounding pharmacy. The products here seem to be equally effective.

Progesterone is not one of this product's listed ingredients. It's a sunscreen, not a hormone cream.

I don't see any parabens listed in the ingredients. I am not an expert though, just a consumer that is highly satisfied with this product for keeping my excema away and overall very healthy, youthful skin.

The key ingredients in PhytoProlief are chaste tree, dong quai, evening primrose oil, red clover, alfalfa, licorice, ginseng and black cohosh extracts. I took this product for a long time and then found out my progesterone level was sky high. This product should be taken under the supervision of a doctor's care.

Don't know! I'd be more concerned about the methylparaben and propylparaben rather than the sodium content.

I personally don't use the progesterone cream on my wrinkles...I do use the estrogen cream they make on my wrinkles. I put a little of it all over my face and it seems to make my face plumper and my wrinkles are not as noticeable..at least not to me. Some people probably wouldn't agree with that, but my mother never used any estrogen replacement, natural or unatural and now she wishes she had...she says that's when she really started getting alot of wrinkles. So, I figure it can't hurt to put some of that estrogen on my face and I may try the progesterone too. Didn't realize it was also for wrinkles!! It may be helping my wrinkles because I sleep better..I can use all the help I can get!!

The ingredients say methylparaben and propylparaben, so I think the label is wrong! Update: Yes, I see the photo label says paraben free. I have the 4 oz. tube of the same product, and it is paraben free. Works great!
