The Hormone Game Changer

Rescue your hormones with this simple miracle.

Over 75% of all women suffer from hormone havoc directly or indirectly related to progesterone deficiency. With these kind of staggering numbers, I bet now you’re asking yourself if you’re one of them.

Do any of the following frustrating symptoms apply to you?

• The inability to lose weight
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Mood Swings
• Lack of libido
• Nervousness
• Osteopenia and Osteoporosis
• Pain
• Depression
• Inflammation

Whether you’re celebrating your 30th birthday, an expectant mother, or are beginning to experience the first signs of the “change,” it’s critical to balance estrogen with progesterone. If you’re one of the many women experiencing the side effects of progesterone deficiency, now you may be wondering why this happened.

You may not be producing enough progesterone because…

1. You are deficient in zinc and vitamin B6, nutrient precursors of progesterone.
2. You are not ovulating regularly, leaving you without a corpus luteum to create progesterone in the first place.
3. Your body is converting progesterone into cortisol as a result of stress.

These days, more and more women are turning to natural methods of hormone therapy.

Natural plant-based progesterone has the same identical structure as the progesterone a woman makes naturally in her body. The physiological dose of 20 mg per day can help improve libido, enhance the immune system, increase hair on the scalp, elevate the metabolic rate with resulting weight loss, act as a natural diuretic, boost the thyroid, and stimulate the production of bone while relaxing smooth muscles and promoting the strength of the myelin sheath.

ProgestaKey was the formula I developed over twenty years ago derived from wild yam and is considered by many to be the best product on the market. It is preservative-free with a delightful scent from lavender essential oil. Depending upon your age and stage of life, there are different protocols, but in general the topical crème should be applied to the face, hands, chest, inner arms, and thyroid area. Rotate these as much as possible so that one area doesn’t get too saturated.

If you’re ready to balance your body back to health, but still have some questions, do read on for the most commonly asked questions about this natural product that’s became a staple for so many women.

Q: How do I know if I need ProgestaKey?
A: In many women, progesterone deficiency can manifest as PMS and difficult menses, mood swings and depression, low fertility, forgetfulness, hot flashes, night sweats, weak and brittle bones. If you relate to any of those symptoms, you may benefit from using ProgestaKey.

Q: Can I use this with other HRT?
A: Yes, though it may be a good idea evaluate your hormone levels with a Salivary Hormone Test. Also, if using hormonal contraceptives, please use back up method of birth control.

Q: My doctor put me on estrogen HRT. Should I stop that when I start ProgestaKey?
A: Please do not discontinue any prescriptions without first discussing with your doctor. Many women experience relief from most of the negative hormonal symptoms simply by adding progesterone, so ProgestaKey may be all you need to alleviate your symptoms. Best to discuss with your doctor.

Q: Do I have to use this forever?
A: Progesterone is important for many aspects of health in women of all ages- managing PMS and heavy cycles, mood swings, optimizing fertility, reducing hot flashes and night sweats, supporting bone health. You may use ProgestaKey long term, or just as long as you want to help manage symptoms.

Q: Do I need to rotate the sight of application?
A: Yes, we recommend rotating the site of application every week to prevent saturating the progesterone receptors in your skin. For instance, week one apply to chest and neck, week two to abdomen, week three to inner arms and inner thighs.

Q: My cycle is irregular. How do I decide when to start and stop ProgestaKey?
A: It’s common for a woman’s cycle to be as short as 20 days and as long as 40. Day 1 of your cycle is considered the first day of menstruation. The basic instructions for menstruating women advise using the crème from day 12 to 26. If your menses begins before day 26, simply stop using the crème when it begins, and resume again on day 12. If your menses is still happening by day 12, still begin using the crème as scheduled. If you experience spotting, stick to the regular schedule. If the spotting is so prevalent that you can’t discern your true menses, simply use the crème for two weeks each month and keep consistent to that schedule.
Q: I’ve had a hysterectomy. How should I use ProgestaKey?
A: Please follow the directions for menopausal women, applying the crème for 25 consecutive days and then taking a 5 day break.

Q: I want to do the salivary hormone test. Can I still use ProgestaKey?
A: To achieve an accurate reading, we recommend abstaining from the crème for at least 3-5 days prior to collecting your saliva sample. Menstruating women should collect their saliva on days 19, 20, or 21 of their cycle, so consider skipping ProgestaKey all together that cycle. Menopausal women can collect their saliva any day of the month, so aim to do so on the final day of the 5 day break from ProgestaKey.

Q: Should I wash my hands after applying ProgestaKey?
A: Yes, especially if you have contact with children, pets, or loved ones.

Q: I’ve had cancer. Can I still use ProgestaKey?
A: It is impossible for us to know, so we encourage you to speak to your health care provider about the potential benefits of naturally derived progesterone.
