2 oz EMERITA Emerita Pro-Gest The Original Natural Progesterone Cream® Who knew a little tube of cream could change the world? In 1978 we had a revolutionary idea: that there was not enough choice when it came to support for perimenopause and menopause. So we created Pro-Gest to give women a much-deserved alternative. It's the only natural progesterone cream that's been clinically tested. It's the best-selling progesterone cream available anywhere (and has been for many years). USP Progesterone: Pro-Gest cream is manufactured to contain 450 milligrams (mg) of USP Progesterone per ounce (900 mg per two-ounce tube). Each ¼ tsp contains approximately 20 mg of USP Progesterone. Careful clinical research has shown this to be an effective amount to achieve a natural balance. United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) denotes a government recognized standard of purity and strength. It is sometimes referred to as "human-identical" or "bio-identical" progesterone, which differentiates it from synthetic progestins or progestogens. USP classifies the progesterone as the highest quality available.

Emerita Pro-Gest suggested use Many women appreciate our natural progesterone cream because it's not another pill they have to take. Emerita Pro-Gest cream is easy to use. To apply, just massage a ¼ teaspoon into your skin twice a day as recommended on the package. Apply it to your inner arms, inner thighs, abdomen, or chest, rotating the areas where applied. It absorbs quickly through the skin, and you're on your way back to a natural balance. Pro-Gest is best used according to your menstrual status. The following are general recommendations that should be confirmed or modified in concert with your health care provider. Women in their reproductive years: Pro-Gest is best used during the second half of your menstrual cycle, for the two weeks prior to menstruation. Days 1 (first day of bleeding) -14: do not use Pro-Gest. Days 15 - 21: use ¼ teaspoon twice a day. Days 22-28: use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day. The suggested use is based on a 28-day cycle. If your cycle is shorter or longer you may need to adjust the timing of use, earlier or later than day 14, to fit with ovulation. If your period begins early, STOP using the Pro-Gest® while you are bleeding. Count the first day of bleeding as day one, and begin the cycle again. Women in perimenopause (still menstruating, with cycle changes): Days 1 (first day of bleeding) - 7: do not use Pro-Gest. Days 8-21: use ¼ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day. Days 22-28: use ¼ to ½ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day. If your period begins early, STOP using the Pro-Gest while you are bleeding. Count the first day of bleeding as day one, and begin the cycle again. If your period is late, use the cream for up to 3 weeks (day 28 of your cycle), then take a week off. If your period has not started by the end of the week off, resume use of the cream as described above for days 8-28 or until your period starts. STOP the cream when your period begins. Count the first day of bleeding as day one of your cycle, and begin the cycle over again. Women in menopause or who are post-menopausal (no longer menstruating): Choose a calendar day (e.g. first day of the month) as day one. Days 1-7: do not use Pro-Gest. Days 8-30 (or 31): use 1/8 to ¼ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day. If needed, you may use up to ½ teaspoon of Pro-Gest twice a day according to the same schedule. |
