Description: Pro-Gest Paraben-Free Who knew a little tube of cream could change the world? In 1978 Emerita had a revolutionary idea: that there was not enough choice when it came to support for perimenopause and menopause. So they 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). Pro-Gest cream is manufactured to contain 450 milligrams (mg) of USP Progesterone per ounce (900 mg per two-ounce tube). Each 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 Paraben-Free Pro-Gest suggested use Many women appreciate this 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 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. Paraben-Free 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.

Note: Tube shown. California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, also known as Proposition 65 ("Prop 65") contains over 800 chemicals identified as carcinogens and or reproductive toxicants. Prop 65 mandates that warnings be given to consumers of products that contain certain chemicals identified by the State of California as hazardous. Progesterone was added to this list in 1988 based on summaries from the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Both of these programs only evaluated progesterone administration to animals. In the NTP's Tenth Report on Carcinogens it is acknowledged that 'no adequate human studies of the relationship between exposure to progesterone and human cancer have been reported.' Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone produced by all humans, unlike most of the chemicals listed in Prop 65 which are not naturally present in humans. Emerita does NOT believe that progesterone should be listed on Prop 65. However, Emerita is required to comply with the law and does so. As the leader in this industry, they have provided considerable evidence to the state of California contradictory to the state's listing mechanism. They remain active in working with the state of California to have progesterone delisted from Prop 65.For more information on natural progesterone, current research and women's health please visit www.womeninbalance.org. As a result of reviewing the program for Prop 65 notification requirements, Emerita is advising all progesterone cream resellers that they should display the following warning. WARNING: This product contains progesterone, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. Consult with your physician before using this product.
