Natural Progesterone for Symptomatic
Relief of PMS and Menopause
To John R. Lee, MD, it is natural progesterone
— not synthetic estrogen or progestins — that is the
key to relieving millions of women’s hormone-related health
conditions. His decades-long advocacy of using safe, drug-free,
natural progesterone to relieve the symptoms of pre-menopause
and menopause is now gaining newfound acceptance with the awareness
of the dangers of HRT. John R. Lee, MD, believes that natural
progesterone may help:
• Burn excess fat for energy
• Improve sleep patterns
• Restore sex drive
• Function as a natural diuretic and antidepressant
• Improve thyroid hormone action
• Normalize blood sugar levels
• Normalize zinc and copper levels
Where did HRT Go Wrong?
Dr. Lee believes there are very few
Western women who are truly deficient in estrogen. Most, he believes,
are deficient in progesterone. A key to hormone balance is knowing
when estrogen becomes the dominant hormone; a condition Dr. Lee
calls estrogen dominance. Progesterone has a balancing or mitigating
effect on estrogen. Symptoms of estrogen dominance can be:
Allergies,
Fatigue, Fat gain, Memory loss, Hypoglycemia, Uterine fibroids,
Decreased Sex drive, Mood swings, Depression, Headaches, Foggy
thinking and Increased Risk of Stroke.
Why HerBalance Moisturizing
Cream?
HerBalance Moisturizing Cream contains
pharmaceutical-grade progesterone and is manufactured to the precise
specifications of Dr. John R. Lee. In fact, Dr. Lee refers to
Vitamin Research Products as an approved source for natural progesterone
in his books.
Natural progesterone is made from
plants and is bio-identical to that produced by the body. HerBalance
also contains natural oils from lemon grass, aloe vera, carrot
and avocado to soften and smooth the skin. We have also added
a unique free radical scavenger called Activin®. ActiVin®
is manufactured using a patented process called ActiPure®,
an environmentally friendly, natural water process that extracts
proanthocyanidins from grape seeds. By eliminating harsh chemicals,
the ActiPure® process is able to recover more of the potent
OPCs from the grape seed proanthocyanidins.
How to use HerBalance Moisturizing
Cream:
Dr. Lee believes the best way to tell
how much to use is to pay attention to how you feel. For example,
if weight gain and water retention occur in the week before menstruation
this would be a sign of estrogen dominance. After a sufficient
amount of progesterone is supplemented you may notice these symptoms
disappear. Here are basic guidelines for use and application as
directed by Dr. Lee:
Apply 1/4-1/2 teaspoon (total per
day) into the palm of your hand and rub into the thin skin areas
of your body. Dr. Lee recommends the face, neck, upper chest,
inner arms, even the soles of your feet.
Premenopausal women can use progesterone
approximately two weeks per month, between days 12 and 26 of
your cycle. (Day One is the first day of bleeding.) Women with
longer cycles can use HerBalance from day 10 to day 28.
Menopausal or post-menopausal (no
longer menstruating) women can use the cream for 3 weeks of
every month. Dr. Lee suggests days 1-7 no cream and days 8 through
30 use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (total per day.)
Remember to find the level that is
right for you. Many women start out using 1/4 teaspoon twice
a day for the first few months and then taper off to once a
day from then on. Feeling balanced is something you will recognize
and your body will tell you the amount that is right for you.
