What is Proferia?
Proferia is a topical progesterone cream used to increase progesterone levels in women who are suffering from hormonal imbalances. Unlike other hormones, researchers have found that progesterone is optimally delivered to the body when applied through the skin, as opposed to administered orally. Proféria is all natural, containing no synthetic hormones.
Why Proferia?
Proferia contains a highly soluble wild yam extract as a base for its high absorption rate, as well as 500mg of USP progesterone per ounce. It does not contain petroleum, lanolin, or other animal-derived ingredients.
Is progesterone for men and women?
Progesterone can be safely used by both men and women, but we suggest testing hormone levels prior to using any type of hormone therapy. Studies have been conducted that demonstrate the safety of progesterone when applied topically to support hormone balance. If you suffer from symptoms that are believed to be the result of a hormonal imbalance, we recommend consulting your physician prior to starting any hormone therapy.
What is Mexican wild yam extract?
Mexican wild yam has been shown to be an excellent source of natural progesterone. However, the human body cannot convert this extract into progesterone on its own. The progesterone must be extracted from Mexican wild yam in a laboratory setting, where it is then standardized and tested for safety and efficacy. Progesterone can only be extracted from wild yam in a laboratory setting, as it is in Proferia.
Is Proferia safe?
Yes. There have been no reports of any serious or adverse side effects from applying Proferia.
When is the best time to apply Proferia?
For best results, apply Proferia once daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Can I take other supplements while using Proferia?
Proferia can be used safely while taking dietary supplements.
How long does it take Proferia to work?
For therapeutic regimens, the progression is quicker for some than for others. Symptoms of hormonal change can occur in a matter of days, though it is not always common to happen that quickly. This is the first step in the process, and the most important, as hormonal imbalances left in their unbalanced state can lead to an increase in a variety of health concerns.
