Can you tell me, please, Is the progesterone micronized or not?

That is an excellent question. My problem in accurately answering it ... is that I no longer have the empty bottle to read the label properly, and I have not used it in a long time. I did feel that it helped balance out the estrogen-progesterone issue I had. Also the oil itself absorbs almost instantly unlike many creams mixed with a lot of unnecessary junk. Hope this helps, and I apologize for not recalling its precise chemical composition.

The progesterone that we use is micronized, then completely dissolved in the coconut oil. It is likely that the absorption is superior for most people to micronized because it is completely dissolved. However, completely dissolved progesterone has not been tested compared to micronized progesterone for absorption as far as I know. Clinically, we have used this on 20,000 patients from 1999 to 2013 and in mission critical applications and it works. Less than 1% of patients do not absorb our formulation well as confirmed by saliva testing. These non-absorbing patients seem to do well with competitor's products. Conversely, some patients that use competitor's products and do not seem to absorb well, appear to absorb well with our product. The reason behind this conundrum is unknown at present.

2 Microns. Not enough to filter out viruses, or even all bacteria. (Though the seller will tell you that those are killed by the iodine.)I see that the seller has changed the format of the page to be more intelligible, and now answers that question in plain sight, rather than buried in the middle of a dense text-storm like it was when I looked at it. Probably you too.

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.

Yes I am. Very good results. Decrease in hot flashes, sweating, and vaginal dryness. I love this product. After a hysterectomy, it is my understandingthat progestrone is not needed.

I've used both, and got no response. I'm 8wks pregnant and am FINALLY getting a FAINT positive line. All bloodwork shows my levels are normal, too.

Yes it is. Its all synthetic. The hormone kind is illegal for consumer purchase, but I think you can go to your MD and get an injection of it... or so my neighbors have told me.

On my bottle it was clearly marked. My pills are usually finished long before that date!!! I have been told you do have some leeway with that date anyway.

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).

As I understand it, the progesterone will bring balance, otherwise there could be a dominance of estrogen which can cause problems.

i agree with the other responder that a doctor consult would be best, although imo you might not need progesterone if you do not have a uterus. i did not know there were other formulations so regrettably i cannot give a great answer.

Not small. It is an oblong pill which, if broken in half, is still not small.

Each 2 oz jar of Natural Progesterone Cream contains 1000 mg USP progesterone or 500 mg per ounce. The suggested 1/4 teaspoon serving should contain just under 21 mg of progesterone.

I don't recommend using progestin ever. Only bio-identical hormones. Getting hormone levels tested first would be a good idea, not necessary if you know that you need the hormone. Always good to get expert advice first.

I've not heard of it being said that way, but the vitamins, minerals, and other supplements may be that equivalent. The nutrients are micro encapsulated and absorb readily into the body. I have taken nano per my endricrinologists recommendation and LOVE the results. More energy, less hunger.
