Progesterone is naturally produced by the body during the reproductive age. During this time, the progesterone hormone is essential for a number of things such as the normalization of the menstrual cycle and regulating excessive bleeding. Progesterone is also used for hormone replacement therapy and in birth control pills. Progesterone cream, which is synthesized artificially from the phytoestrogens found in yam and soy through laboratory manipulations, is an innovative tool for providing the body the essential quantity of progesterone hormone, without any discomfort or pain.

Progesterone cream is mainly used for treating pre-menopausal symptoms, also known as PMS. The cream is applied to those areas of the body which have easy accessibility to blood capillaries. Such areas can be easily identified, as these are the areas which are most susceptible to blush. Some such areas are the neck, the cheeks, the breast, the buttocks and the palms of hands. The cream is absorbed by the subcutaneous fat, which can be understood in lay man's terms as the fat stored under the skin. From here, the hormone enters the blood capillaries thus, becoming a part of the blood stream.

The presence of the deficient progesterone hormone in the blood stream balances out the excessive levels of estrogen hormone. Research has proved that estrogen can lead to a number of problems in both the male as well as female body. It decreases the bone density, makes the body vulnerable to prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women, destabilizes the zinc and copper levels in the body, and may lead to headaches and depression.

Progesterone cream is used to fight all the conditions as its presence in a person's body automatically brings down the level of estrogen in the body. Thus, contrary to the popular belief that progesterone is merely used to treat PMS is a gross understatement.
