To help you make an informed choice on what progesterone cream to buy, I've compiled a detailed list of the progesterone creams on the market. This list is routinely vetted to make sure the links work and the major progesterone creams are fairly represented. There are some progesterone cream products that won't reveal their progesterone strength even if they are called. I even show the ingredient list for each cream--just hover over the link to the product to see it.

For some progesterone products, getting certain information such as shipping price and progesterone concentration was very difficult. One sales technique that causes the most trouble is the hidden shipping cost. The price looks great, but you look a little deeper and discover the shipping cost is through the roof. And sometimes this shipping cost isn't revealed until you have taken the trouble of entering in all of your personal and financial information. Very frustrating. This is why Ona's natural progesterone cream does not charge shipping or even sales tax. This is such a luxury to know how much you really have to pay.

Be aware that some progesterone creams will use a bait and switch tactic. These creams are really wild yam extract creams with no progesterone. Any progesterone cream which says it had wild yam extract needs a more detailed look before buying. I do not list these products as I believe they are deceptive.

There are several types of progesterone products that you should be aware of. Most of the products are progesterone creams, which are mixtures of oil and water that require one or more emulsifiers to make them combine. These emulsifiers can be PEGs, which some consider to have a risk of dioxin contamination. But these same PEGs are often in progesterone products because they enhance the absorption of the progesterone. There are also progesterone gels, which are often called progesterone creme because gels are not popular. These products usually lack these controversial emulsifiers.

A few progesterone creams use Vitamin E to dissolve the progesterone which is considered to absorb better but is more expensive. Very often, progesterone creams have micronized progesterone in them which means an ultra-fine powder of progesterone has been mixed into a cream base. These absorb slower because the ultra-fine progesterone crystals must first break off of the crystal body to be absorbed by skin, a step that Vitamin E dissolved progesterone doesn't have.

Progesterone creams are generally not marketed as drugs, and so they are not regulated by the FDA. This means any drug claims made by progesterone creams are walking a fine line when it comes to wording when describing the benefits of their products. Many other countries require progesterone cream by prescription only, so we are lucky in the United States because this also brings the price way down and also helps keep the competition high which can only help a consumer such as yourself.
