Progesterone Pure Cream 2 oz
Progesterone, a hormone derived primarily from the corpus luteum and secondarily from the adrenal gland and the male testes, is a precursor hormone which can be converted, as required, into other steroid hormones such as DHEA, estrogen, androstenedione, testosterone, and cortisol. Karuna's Progesterone Pure is specifically designed for two populations: (1) male patients who may benefit from the supportive actions of progesterone and (2) all people suffering with skin sensitivities or allergies. Progesterone may play a critical role in men's health, opposing the effects of naturally-produced and environmental estrogens on tissues such as the prostate. In addition, Progesterone Pure is a hypoallergenic formula free of chemicals found in cosmetic skin creams, particularly synthetic fragrances and preservatives that can be agents for triggering skin sensitivities and allergies.
Natural progesterone may have distinct advantages over synthetic progesterone in terms of safety and effectiveness (Comp Ther 1998;24:336-9).
Progesterone, like estrogen, is a hormone that plays an important role in bone metabolism (Endocr Rev 1990;11:386-98).
Topical natural progesterone supports bone maintenance (Eur J Nutr 2004;43:246-57), and, when combined with a program of diet, exercise and vitamin and calcium supplementation, supported accumulation of bone mass over a three-year period (Int Clin Nutr Rev 1990; 10:384-91).
Topical natural progesterone has been shown in double blind research to promote normal hormonal health during menopause (Obstet Gynecol 1999;94:225-8).
A controlled trial of 1/4 teaspoon of cream daily, containing 20 mg transdermal natural progesterone, given to 102 menopausal women, stabilized vasomotor function in the majority of subjects (Obstet Gynecol 1999;94(2):225-8).
Progesterone Pure is a pure, hypoallergenic formula free from all synthetic fragrances, emulsifiers, emollients, fillers, alcohol and preservatives.
Karuna Progesterone Pure is free of alcohol, parabens and urea. Each 2 oz. tube is standardized, quality-controlled and safety-sealed to prevent oxidation and bacterial contamination.
Each 2 oz. tube contains natural progesterone USP (25mg per tsp.), which applies easily and absorbs rapidly into the skin, leaving no sticky or oily residue. Each tube is accompanied by an educational brochure that contains complete dosing instructions and other valuable information.
Suggested Use:
Progesterone, being a small, fat-soluble molecule, is easily absorbed through the skin. For general application, skin sites recommended include the inner areas of the thighs and arms, neck, upper chest and abdomen. The site should be rotated daily for maximum absorption. Allow 2-3 months for maximum effect.
