Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Michelle, I feel a better way to approach this would be to READ the lable if it doesn't contain progesterone then it probably won't be AS effective. Now that you have said a product doesn't work, let me back up what I said...it does contain progesterone and has been recommended by Dr. John Lee. Without knowing what was in the supplement I recommeneded, you said it wouldn't work. Please read the following. Wild Yam Cream from Unicity contains the following ingredients: Deionized water caprylic/capric triglycerides polyacrylamide/C13-14 isonparaffin/laureth 7 a unique blend of botanicals containing: Aloe Barbadensis gel extracts of wild yam and soy (containing progesterone) Evening Primrose Oil Licorice extract Grape seed extract Other ingredients include: SD alcohol wheat amino acids progesterone USP glycerin a-tocopheryl acetate allantoin The following is the science statement from Unicity on their Wild Yam Cream supplement: Wild Yam Cream This formula contains wild yam, which has been used by women for decades. Product Information Item #12230 C.V.: 14 2 oz. Tube Did you know the skin can absorb certain nutrients? This soothing, fragrant product provides a steady supply of wild yam and soy extracts, which have been used by women for decades to support feminine health. This supplement uses the most effective delivery system available. Because a woman's system is subject to natural fluctuations throughout the month, many women are prone to imbalances that can cause a variety of problems and make day-to-day living difficult. As women age, these same imbalances are often implicated in even more serious health concerns relating to a weakening of the structural system. For years there was little that could be done to effectively ease these problems. Scientists have now discovered a compound found in the Mexican wild yam. Unicity's exciting Wild Yam Cream provides that compound in a soothing transdermal emollient.* Because the skin easily absorbs nutrients through the pores, the topical application of Unicity's Wild Yam Cream provides a steady supply of wild yam extract that maximizes the body's assimilation of its active ingredients. Key Ingredients: Evening Primrose Oil Used in preparations for aging skin, it counteracts free radical damage and rejuvenates skin cells. It is a revitalizing herbal extract that contains a high amount of linoleic acid that regulates cellular activity and is essential for maintaining healthy skin. The expressed oil of the seed is used in preparations for dry or mature skins. Evening primrose sports attractive yellow flowers that produce the tiny black seeds which yield an oil used both internally and externally for many conditions. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids that are readily absorbed by the skin, evening primrose oil is excellent for treating rough, dry skin. Licorice Extract Originally from central Europe, licorice now grows all across Europe and Asia. An herb that supports the female reproductive system. Grape Seed Extract A botanical extract from grape seed, which includes many flavonoid compounds such as proanthocyanidins. It has antioxidant properties to support against oxidative damage to cells. RESEARCH BRIEF Beginning around age 40 - 50 in women, the ovaries begin producing lower levels of estrogens and progesterone. These reductions lead to marked physiological responses in the body which are referred to collectively as menopause. These responses include " hot flashes, " irritability, fatigue, anxiety and various other symptoms. Consumption of certain foods has been shown to decrease many post-menopausal symptoms. Soybeans, for example, are particularly high in compounds called isoflavones. The isoflavones genistein and diadzien significantly decrease LDL cholesterol and significantly increased HDL/LDL cholesterol ratios. Soy isoflavones increase bile acid excretion and affects metabolism of cholesterol in the liver. Other plant-derived compounds such as saponins may have similar properties. Saponins are found in many grains and vegetables and have long been known to have strong biological activity. Saponins are broken down in the digestive tract into steroid-like compounds and sugars. FAQs Q. Can any woman use this product? A. It is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women. REFERENCES Middleton E, Kandaswami C.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Sorry if this is a duplicate, but it showed on line that it did not go through.. So I am sending it again... Info regarding the Progesterone Cream.. Can you suggest any specific type or name brand that seems to work better than others? Right now I am on a bio-identical estrogen and bio-identical progesterone cream and am still having anxiety, can't sleep worth a darn and have pain all the time (similar to fibromyalgia).... I have tried everything and nothing seems to help keep the ANXIETY at bay... I'm really desperate for input. If you are aware of any specific name brands that are natural with no chemicals or dangerous preservatives, that seem to work on MOST women, I would love to hear from you. What the name of it brand is, and where to get it if you have that info. Please feel free to email me off group if this has already been answered and I didn't see it in the other posts. I really would like some input.. The bio-identical hormones cost me just a little bit more than the over the counter progesterone cream did when I was using it. But, I want to use what is best and been proven to work with other women, especially those that have a hard time with natural OR traditional medications, like me. I look forward to hearing from you. Health and Blessings Gail Again, I apologize if you get this twice... , " Michelle " <michelle wrote: > > Please note: These benefits are not found in Wild Yam cream, but only USP Progesterone cream. > > PROGESTERONE EFFECTS: > > Maintains secretory endometrium > Protects against breast fibrocysts > Helps use fat for energy > Natural diuretic > Natural anti-depressant & calms anxiety > Prevents cyclical migraines > Promotes normal sleep patterns > Facilitates thyroid hormone function > Helps normalize blood sugar levels > Normalizes blood clotting > Helps restores normal libido > Normalizes zinc and copper levels > Restores proper cell oxygen levels > Prevents endometrial cancer > Helps prevent breast cancer > Decreased risk of prostate cancer > Stimulates new bone formation > Improves vascular tone > Prevents autoimmune diseases > Increases sensitivity of estrogen receptors > Necessary for survival of embryo > Precursor of corticosteroid biosynthesis > Prevents coronary artery spasm and atherosclerotic plaque > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
