Why is natural progesterone so important?
In industrialized countries, most men and women have unbalanced hormones
due to the over-abundance of estrogen and estrogenic substances in the
food we eat. The body needs natural
progesterone to counter balance the toxic effects of this "estrogen
dominance," as it is sometimes referred to. These toxic effects cause
the common
problems women experience with menopause, osteoporosis, breast cancer,
fibroids and fibrocystic breasts.
Why is natural Progesterone better as a cream?
A higher absorption rate can be achieved when delivered through the skin
as a cream. The actual physical size of the supplement’s molecule
plays an important role in this absorption. When supplements are delivered
transdermally, they go directly to the bloodstream, initially bypassing
the liver. The results can mean as much as 90% of the supplements get
to the cells where they are needed. When some substances are taken orally,
as little as 5% make it to the cells they were intended to make it to
because the stomach, liver and digestive system discard the majority of
them.
How much natural progesterone do I need?
While everyone’s needs are different, the recommended dosage is
about 20 mg or one-quarter teaspoon, once a day. Life-Flo’s
unique pump container actually dispenses 20 mg. per pump.
