Source Naturals Phyto-Estrogen Cream, Paraben-Free - 4 oz Cream

Excellent product affordable

I've been trying to get my life back after menopause and didn't really have much luck with progesterone. I tried 4 different brands, then gave up. They all made me weepy. Who wants to cry all the time over nothing? Not me! Plus it did nothing for my energy. mood, or sagging, dry skin. I'm HypoThyroid, so that made it even worse. Anyway, I decided to give this stuff a try. After just one week, I feel I am on the right path. My energy took off. That was a biggie for me, always being tired from the thyroid issue. I'm more alert and getting stuff done. I've even cleaned the house and have been thinking about getting out in the yard to do some work. WOW! Where did this woman come from? Today is the third day that I've seen a difference and I'm very happy. I feel like I have my life back. Even my eyesight seems to be clearer, more bright. I used to feel like there was a heaviness on my shoulder. That is gone. I feel taller than I have in years. Even my sleep in better. I used to wake up at 4 or 5 and not be able to go back to sleep. The last few nights I've been sleeping for 7 hours and not tired during the day. If the progesterone has failed you, then think about this. I hope it helps. It certainly has helped me.

Se tardo mas en llegar, pero llego!!

I am 42 and feel peri-menopausal even though my periods are regular (coming 3-4 days earlier since I turned 40). I have felt my symptoms of estrogen deficiency increase since 40. A year ago, even 1/8 of teaspoon of this cream felt slightly more than enough--I'd feel a sort of rush and a tingle in my nipples, which was scary to me. But now I need 1/2 tsp to make the symptoms go away (heat intolerance, mental fogginess, low mood/indifference, extreme irritability, agitation, impatience, hunger pangs, flatulence, constipation, fatigue, lethargy, insomnia--I could keep going). It really gets the job done--in 1/2 hour, I sense the symptoms just dissolve away and feel the way I did before 40! The other remarkable thing is that this is an awesome anti-aging face cream. Just 1/4 tsp on the face makes my skin so soft and glowing--a beautiful pink matte glow (I am an Indian-American with tan skin). The cream is amazing. I give it a 5 starsUpdate: 25 April 2018. I took a break from it for the last several months, and noticed symptoms coming back with full force (depression/irritability/indifference/pain in joints/uncontrollable hunger and eating/weight gain/lethargy/fatigue). It only took a few days of taking it and I feel my symptoms fading away—all of them. I apply it on my face and I notice the greyish dullness going away too. In my opinion, this cream works better than estriol at physical and emotional symptoms and at plumping up skin.

These were my 3rd and 4th time ordering. My 1st two were cream color and when you rubbed it in. It soaked in. These two in the picture don’t soak in as well and I don’t think it working.

I purchased Phyto-Estrogen Cream in an attempt to lessen hot flashes from surgically-induced menopause. I noticed a slight difference within a few days of using it, but not enough to really make a difference. I did begin to notice a bigger difference once I started using progesterone cream as well after reading some information claiming women with low progesterone were more prone to hot flashes. The combination has been paying off in the way of fewer hot flashes and lesser intensity of those that remain.The product comes in a 4 oz. tub, which I didn't like. The directions are to use 1/2 tsp. twice daily on the smooth areas of skin like wrists, face, throat, or chest. (I can't imagine applying this to my face.) The product does not come with any type of measuring device, so at first I just used what I thought was about 1/2 tsp. Eventually I gave in and used a measuring spoon to see how much I actually should have been using, and I was nowhere near correct. 1/2 tsp. is a LOT of product. I had to purchase a new measuring spoon just for this product because it was getting annoying having to get it from the kitchen each time I needed to use it.The smell of the product is okay. It's not too annoying, and I'm very sensitive to scents. But I didn't really like the texture. With the amount you need to use each time, it's difficult to get it all rubbed in. It just turns white on your skin until you rub the excess somewhere else. Instead of applying it to one of the suggested areas and rotating the area (which is also suggested), I had to apply it to multiple areas each time, so there was no area left for rotation. It left me feeling slightly sticky. It also seemed like it never fully absorbed into the skin, as when I got into the shower the areas where it had been applied felt slimy.The other problem is the amount you need to use. Using the correct amount twice a day, my tub is close to empty after 23 days. Although I prefer more natural solutions to HRT if I can avoid it, the cost of this product is a bit high. Instead of replacing this product, I have ordered another brand which suggests a smaller amount per use and pumps out the correct amount--no guessing.Three stars because I did see a difference with the product, but it isn't a good long-term solution for me.
