Read questions but couldn't find the most obvious one, is this AS GOOD as REAL progesterone cream? Does it do exact same thing as REAL progesterone?

It is real progesterone, but the dosage may be less than if you had a prescription from a doctor skilled in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, and made up specifically for you by a compounding pharmacy. Since it is an over the counter cream, it will have a low, "average" dose. If you are just trying a bio-identical cream to see if it helps your particular symptoms, it's a good start. I do recommend checking your hormone levels, if you find the OTC levels not very effective. It is definitely worth it! good luck!

short answer is no. Long answer, eventually if you get the dose right. It takes a while (like a month) for it to build up in your system and begin working like with any herbal therapy. And it is not nearly as strong or harsh as REAL progesterone.

I just use it on my face and this is what I see personally. 1) Rosy complexion immediately upon use. 2) I think creams absorb deeper into the skin; makes sense since it pokes little holes in your skin. 3) Strange enough, but after the first couple of uses it actually feels good. I was very intimidated to use too much pressure the first few uses. Basically no harm no foul for the price. I have NOT used it past my chin not even my neck so I can't speak for it's benefits on thighs or other areas of the body. Try You Tube.com for videos on this product; I found several but never went past the first one. I hope I've helped you some even though I can't give you a direct answer. Oh, also I read where if you use it on your scalp it will stimulate hair growth so I'm giving that a whirl around my hairline area. I've only had this for about a month so can't say much more about this at this point.

The main thing it has helped me with is vaginal dryness. Between this product and the progesterone companion cream, the dryness is totally gone, hubby is as happy as a kid in a candy store, and I don't get UTI's anymore, which accompanies vaginal dryness. Menopause is wonderful! :o)

I am not sure, I have been using for a while and it helps my body make other hormones which keep me balanced during menopause, I prefer creams to pills.sorry I am unable to be more specific. I would check the natural radiance website for more information.

Yes, I believe it is. It's been a couple of years since I took this. My doctor told me that it was the same as taking estrogen but without progesterone (which you need both) and the doctors guidance, so she was very adamant about putting me on a prescription that she could monitor. So you might check with your doctor before taking this product.

Absolutely, for my skin type this cream is perfect... I have been buying it for quite a few years now... I have not considered changing!

Hi Caroline!. I would first suggest you get on the internet, key in Natural Health and go to several of the websites and look up "Parabens", read all the pros and cons to make up your own mind as to what your personal feelings are. If you are still in your production years, you might want to avoid as many products with the parabens as possible. I am in my senior years so I no longer have the hormones of my younger years. My Gynocologist suggested the Estriol cream to be applied topically twice a week, so I searched out the most natural formula and found Smoky Mountain. For Atrophic Vaginitis, both formulas seem to work equally as well. I ended up using the Paraben free formula because I feel the less toxins you put on or in your body the better. I hope this helps you decide.

Hi -That's the problem - it doesn't. My dermatologist recommended it for that so I bought it, but I can honestly say it made no difference at all. Just a nice expensive skin cream. I'm not going to buy it again.

It is no where near the quality of similarly priced cream's, however it is still a good price. As for the Original Gold Elements Age Treatment Creams...I don't believe this is the same item, and it has always had a fluid price depending on the seller. If you are looking for a miracle under 30 bucks, forget it.

I haven't tried the other cream so I can't answer that question, but I definitely use this on my face daily. It goes on looking thick, but absorbs fully and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy. It keeps my normally dry skin very comfortable.It helps with my psoriasis spots which are less red when moistened.

I would think that would depend on how deficient you are in progesterone, results will vary. I personally had significant improvement within 3 days. Great product!!

I had menopause that made it difficult for me to function! My regular obgyn knew of these kinds of products but not enough to feel comfortable prescribing. So, I found an excellent doctor who is an MD but also a PhD who did all of the test. Initially Dr Blackmun gave me bio-identical prescription cremes that I had filled at a special pharmacy. These initial formulas were much stronger than these over the counter products. But after about a year, I "graduated" to these over the counter products and they work for me. BUT, I would really want to know my hormone levels before using products. these are very powerful and do work! Good luck!!

It's all natural and does not have real progesterone. It does have yam and soy sources in it. I've been using it for almost 2 years now and the benefits I get from it are amazing. I feel great and there are no side effects unlike when you use real prgesterone cream.

Some formulators who make both creams and serums say there is no difference in the two. So, if you prefer one over the other ... it's a good choice. Just don't pay more for a serum vs. a cream from the same company, as the ingredients are the same and thus the results should be the same.

On the back of the box there's a phone# for Questions. It's 760-940-2125. They might be able to answer that. I don't see anything on the box about progesterone in the ingredients.

Hi there. I apologize for the delay in answering. We wanted to make sure we got our specialist in on this conversation because your reaction is something we've never heard of in our 15 years carrying Balanced Woman.

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.
