Product Description

Natural progesterone, now referred to as bio-identical
progesterone, is structurally the same as human progesterone and releases the
full range of biologic activity of hormone produced naturally by the body. Transdermal
progesterone passes through the skin into capillaries in the underlying fat
layer and is passively diffused into the blood stream. In contrast to oral
progesterone which is subject to removal by the liver, transdermally-applied
progesterone escapes this first-pass effect to retain potency when modest
amounts are used. Progesterone deficiencies may occur in association with
disturbances in premenstrual and menopausal health. Progesterone facilitates
bone deposition while balancing the effects of estrogen. Natural progesterone
is just as effective as, and much safer than, synthetic progesterone.
Supportive factors in Progesterone Plus include primrose oil and
extracts of chasteberry, wild yam, and black cohosh. • Refer
to About...Progesterone. • Karuna Progesterone Plus 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 ¼ 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 for
adults: 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.
