PROGESTERONE

Renaissance natural progesterone cream corrects low progesterone levels and counters the negative effects of estrogen dominance, relieving and preventing symptoms of PMS, perimenopause, and menopause. 

NATURAL PROGESTERONE

Natural progesterone is extracted from many different plant sources and vegetable oils. Natural progesterone is bio-identical to progesterone produced by the female ovaries.

Provera is a progestin or synthetic product. It is not natural progesterone. Synthetic progesterone does not provide the protection against estrogen dominance "natural" progesterone does.

LOW PROGESTERONE LEVELS

Results in estrogen dominance, PMS, early perimenopause onset, low libido, excessively heavy bleeding during a period, weight-gain, migraine like headaches, primary dysmenorrhea or cramps, increases the risk of endometrial cancer.

WHAT IS SYNTHETIC ESTROGEN?

Horse urine. Premarin is an acronym for pregnant mares’ urine.  

WHAT IS ESTROGEN DOMINANCE?

Condition where a woman has deficient, normal, or excessive estrogen but little or no progesterone to balance its effects in her body. Even a woman with low estrogen levels can suffer from estrogen dominance if she doesn’t have proper levels of progesterone.

PROGESTERONE VERSUS ESTROGEN-A DYNAMIC BALANCE OUT OF BALANCE

Estrogen dominance has led to hormonal imbalances in women at an ever-earlier age and to a significantly greater degree then has ever been known.

Estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency is epidemic among women in industrialized countries.

Progesterone’s most important role in the woman’s body is to balance or oppose estrogen.

Comparison of effects indicates a perfect balance between progesterone and estrogen.

Natural progesterone is essential to counter-act the negative effects of estrogen dominance.

PMS, ESTROGEN DOMINANT, OR PERIMENOPAUSE?

After menses progesterone levels are higher then estrogen levels. In women that are estrogen dominant the reverse is true. Estrogen is dominant all the time. This excess estrogen causes symptoms to be continually present, and their symptoms do not subside with menses. 

Prior to menopause estrogen and progesterone levels drop, menstrual cycles become irregular. During this transitional period women are subjected to a bewildering number of physical and emotional symptoms, some of which are PMS-like in nature, others more typical of the post-menopausal woman. Doctors refer to this transitional period as perimenopause.

PMS causes a rise in symptoms followed by a cessation of those symptoms after menses. Women suffering from estrogen dominance have symptoms all the time. Irregular periods are the tell-tale sign of perimenopause. 

ESTROGEN DOMINANCE & WEIGHT GAIN

Androstenedione is available in high concentration in fatty tissues. Cholesterol, occurs in high concentration in fatty tissue, providing a great store of estrone. Estrone converts androstenedione into endogenous estrogen; estrogen manufactured from body tissue rather than ovarian produced estrogen.

This increased supply of estrogen augments ovarian produced estrogen. This excess estrogen is stored in the form of fat deposited in the breasts, buttocks and hips. Women on a strict diet, exercising regularly, often cannot lose weight.

Exercise and diet will not result in weight loss as long as the woman remains estrogen dominate.

PROGESTERONE CREAM

For practical purposes the safest, most effective, and convenient method of progesterone application is topical. FDA allows up to 750 milligrams per ounce to be sold OTC, higher dosage per ounce requires a prescription. Renaissance progesterone cream contains the highest amount of progesterone allowed without a prescription.

PROGESTERONE CREAM BENEFITS

Uses fat for energy, protects against fibrocystic breasts, natural diuretic, natural anti-depressant, facilitates thyroid, normalizes blood clotting, restores female sex drive, normalizes blood sugar levels, prevents endometrial and breast cancer.

PROGESTERONE & OVULATION

Declining levels of progesterone signal the uterus to shed its endometrial lining. This results in a shortening of the menstrual cycle, resulting in anovulatory and irregular cycles, and early onset of perimenopause. 

PROGESTERONE PREVENTS PMS CRAMPS

Lower progesterone levels cause a rise in the production of prostaglandin production. Women with primary dysmenorrhea, or cramps, have 8 to 13 times more prostaglandins in their blood stream than women who do not suffer cramps. Progesterone cream is essential to prevent painful PMS cramps.

PROGESTERONE & ANXIETY

When women are under stress the adrenal gland produces cortisol. Cortisol causes anxiety and increases stress levels. Progesterone is antagonistic to cortisol and counter-acts the negative effects of cortisol.

PROGESTERONE AND PREGNANCY

Progesterone transforms the lining of the uterus into the endometrium. Soft, spongy, rich in blood vessels and glandular tissue, the endometrium forms a perfect bed for the egg. Progesterone also relaxes the uterus to give the egg a better chance to implant itself into the endometrium.

PROGESTERONE & MISCARRIAGE

Progesterone is essential to insure implantation and to prevent rejection of the developing embryo. Without necessary levels of progesterone the endometrium cannot sustain and will naturally abort the embryo.

PROGESTERONE & MENOPAUSE

Scientists have found as progesterone levels drop, so does bone density. When progesterone levels increase, so does bone density. Progesterone not only slows bone loss; but can actually reverse it by encouraging osteoblasts to be more active in remodeling and rebuilding bone.

Menopausal women find vaginal dryness and hot flashes usually subside after 4 months of using progesterone cream. Progesterone cream is often cited as the missing link in a woman's loss of libido. Progesterone also protects blood vessels, nerves, and the brain.
 
Most doctors now understand its impossible to treat menopausal symptoms or chronic conditions without balancing the hormonal system with progesterone cream.

PROGESTERONE AND OSTEOPOROSIS

Old bone crystallizes, becomes brittle and is prone to break. Old bone must be dissolved before new bone formation can occur. Octeoclasts eat old bone in a process called osteoblasting.

Osteoclasts are driven by progesterone; inhibited by estrogen. In women deficient in progesterone the osteoclasts become sluggish. For women taking estrogen the situation is compounded as estrogen slows up the osteoclasts.

Progesterone makes new bone growth possible by stimulating the osteoclasts; however, progesterone does not create new bone growth. Progesterone is necessary, but not sufficient for new bone formation.

Scientific and clinical studies leave no doubt bone growth can only be achieved with the correct form of calcium, in the correct ratio, in conjunction with Vitamin D & Vitamin K found only in GynoFem.

PROGESTERONE  SIDE EFFECTS

Natural progesterone is free of any untoward teratogenic, metabolic, or hemodynamic effects. Heavy doses of progesterone cream will reduce wakefulness and induce sleep.

RENAISSANCE – NATURAL PROGESTERONE CREAM

Using conventional delivery systems such as creams, gels, ointments, and lotions, no more then 30% of the active ingredient can permeate the skin. Lipsomes are microscopic aqueous membranes that permeate deep into the skin for sustained release. Lipoceutical encapsulation delivers 100% of the progesterone into the lower layers of the skin.

Renaissance contains 2625 mg. of natural USP FDA approved micronzied progesterone powder in a 3.5 oz. convenient pump dispenser, highest allowed by the FDA, encapsulated in liposomes.

APPLICATION

Renaissance progesterone cream is best applied to the back of the elbows and knees, flat of the stomach, neck and face. Best results are achieved when applied 2 or 3 times a day, spread over a larger surface then a smaller surface.

Renaissance can help to induce sleep so applications during the day are lighter, heavier application made at night for a good nights sleep.

NEED TO SELF-DOSE

There is no universally acceptable dosage for Renaissance progesterone cream. .

It’s impossible to accurately measure any woman’s hormone levels because they fluctuate so much, and physically all women are not of uniform size.

Begin by applying a single pump from the dispenser twice a day. Each pump contains between 32 to 40 mg. of progesterone. Dosage often must be adjusted.

WILD YAM SCAM

Many companies claim their progesterone cream contains ‘real progesterone.’ Checking the ingredient list reveals they are using Wild Yam, or Mexican Yam, or ‘pharmaceutical grade’ progesterone. These are all code words for diosgenin. The human body does not produce the enzymes necessary to convert diosgenin into progesterone.

Diosgenin, by any name, is not progesterone and does not provide the benefits of progesterone.

DOSAGE

There are those who recommend application of progesterone be suspended for a period of time each month, usually seven to ten days.

Failing to apply Renaissance when a woman is estrogen dominant will simply lead to greater estrogen dominance. Listen to your body. Apply Renaissance as often as necessary to rid yourself of symptoms. For many women this means applying Renaissance every single day.
