Natural progesterone, now referred to as bio-identical progesterone, is structurally the same as human progesterone. Transdermal progesterone passes through the skin into capillaries in the underlying fat layer and is passively diffused into the blood stream.In contrast to oral progesterone which is subject to removal by the liver, transdermally-applied progesterone escapes this first-pass effect to retain potency when modest amounts are used. Progesterone deficiencies may occur in association with disturbances in premenstrual and menopausal health. Natural progesterone is just as effective as, and much safer than, synthetic progesterone. Supportive factors in Progesterone Plus include primrose oil and extracts of chasteberry, wild yam, and black cohosh.''Dietary ConsiderationsVegetarianPreservative FreeFree of Artificial Colors/Flavors''Serving Size:0.25 Teaspoon''Servings Per Container:48 '''' Amount Per Serving Progesterone per serving: 30''mg ''Purified Water ''''Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Extract ''''Jojoba Oil ''''Primrose Oil ''''Shea Butter ''''Cetyl Alcohol (coconut oil derived) ''''Micronized USP Progesterone (wild yam derived) 1440''mg ''Stearic Acid (palm kernel derived thickener) ''''Monosodium Salt ''''Disodium Edetate (plant derived preservative) ''''Grapefruit Seed Extract ''''Potassium Sorbate ''''Xanthan Gum (seaweed derived thickener) ''''Vitamin E ''''Black Cohosh Extract ''''Chasteberry Extract ''''Apply as directed in the enclosed educational brochure.
