Throughout the course of a woman's life, the hormones estrogen and progesterone are constantly fluctuating. It is the imbalance between these two hormones that can cause the symptoms of PMS and menopause and accelerated bone loss after menopause. If you suffer from breast swelling and tenderness, fatigue, hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings, your hormones may not be in balance.

Natural progesterone is recommended to help balance your hormones naturally. It has been used successfully to help reduce the symptoms and discomfort of PMS and as a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy, without the side effects. It has also been used to help with bone mineral loss, or osteoporosis.

The most desirable way to use natural progesterone is in a transdermal (absorbed through the skin) cream, containing 400-500 mg of progesterone per ounce, supplying 20 mg of progesterone per dose.

Arbonne's Balancing Creams were formulated to meet these specifications! PhytoProlief and Prolief are natural progesterone creams that are applied topically, to ensure optimal absorption and utilization by the body. They both contain 480 mg of progesterone per ounce and are conveniently packaged in a dose-metered pump, so each dose supplies 1/4 teaspoon containing the recommended 20 mg of progesterone. There's no confusing and messy measuring!

PhytoProlief is a natural progesterone cream containing herbs known to help relieve the symptoms of PMS and menopause. Many of these herbs are termed phytoestrogens, or natural estrogens from plant sources, capable of helping to balance the powerful and sometimes harmful effects of too much or too little estrogen. ArbonneΉs PhytoProlief has the added herbs: Black Cohosh, Chaste Tree Berries, Dong Quai, Evening Primrose Oil, Red Clover, Licorice, Alfalfa and Ginseng.

Prolief was developed for those interested in receiving the benefits of a natural progesterone cream without the added herbs: Black Cohosh, Chaste Tree Berries, Dong Quai, Evening Primose Oil, Red Clover, Licorice, Alfalfa and Ginseng.
