Emerita - Phytoestrogen Body Cream 2 oz

Reduces tenderness immediately. Absorbs quickly.

Been using for years. Helps to maintain balance.

I use 1/4 tsp in the morning and 1/8 tsp in the evening, on my inner arms. It took a long time to figure out this is the best dosage for me; this is subtle, so give it a few weeks and adjust your dosage to reach the right one for you. I've been in menopause just over a year. Hot flashes are way better, energy is better--although I crashed hard last winter, gained weight, had terrible dry skin, and subsequently found out I was hypothyroid, so if that's happening to you, check your thyroid.I also take 1/8 tsp of Emerita's progest 2x/day (a little more in the evening), and have for years. If I take too much Progest, I get horrid sweaty hot flashes and night sweats. I also take phosphatidylserine at night, which is an amino acid; it is great for sleep and for morning anxiety and mental clarity. I feel better than I have in many years, and am glad I'm not using estradiol, which I seem to have a very bad reaction to.

I've found that, for me, I tend to typically need more estrogen to control my hot flashes, while friends need Progest. It takes a few days to build up in my system, then it works really well. A little Progest to balance back out around my period time and everything stays more balanced. I think you have to play with the balance between estrogen and progesterone for yourself. Each of us is unique. No one size fits all solutions, and this product (along with Progest) allow each person to find what works for them.

Very useful WHEN needed but find out if you need it FIRST. Sometimes these hormone creams make things worse, especially in the meno transition. Get some hormone testing done and use only as needed. Can have powerful effects. If taken when not needed you can get bad headaches, etc. Not to be used by women susceptible to cancer.

I'm only 37, but have been experiencing low estrogen due to the stressors of life (running a business, getting married, moving, etc all at the same time). My ND uses muscle testing, and my body tested "yes" for low estrogen due to stress, and then strongly muscle tested for this product.I knew something was "off" when my libido tanked, had vaginal dryness, had strange changes to my mood period week (weepy), breast tissue changed (got much thinner), and I lost about 2 cup sizes going from a 34 DD to barely a 34C. I also had not lost any weight, so I knew the loss of breast tissue was suspect.I will be using 3 bottles to restore the balance to my estrogen, and applied in the evenings to my inner arm, breasts, ovaries, and inner thigh. Dime sized amount. I also am to take Evening Primrose oil caps at the same time. This is about a 30 day program.

Not sure if it really helped the hot flashes. I ended up going to my doctor for treatment.

I began menopause at 30 thanks to surgery. This product helps manage my hot flashes and mood swings. It’s likely not a replacement for people who feel they need pills, but for those of us who can’t take oral estrogen(or don’t support Premarin, made from pregnant horse urine) it’s pretty effective. The cream has no real smell, absorbs quickly. I would recommend this to anyone going through menopause.
