Natural progesterone cream should say "USP Progesterone" right on the label.
I would throw that Rexall garbage right in the trash. It's dangerous, as are all progestins and progestogens. |
Mallory is correct in some aspects. Progesterone creams that do not say USP on the label have not been verified by the USP.
Whether or not Rexall uses bioidentical progesterone is not confirmed or denied at this point, and it is unknown whether or not it contains progestins. However, it
has been determined that the Rexall brand
does not say USP on the label. Further research was attempted, but the information obtained, in my opinion, was inconclusive. So whether or not someone chooses to use that particular product is a personal choice that needs to be made based on some in-depth research by each specific person, not just the information on this thread. (However, in my own mind, if there is even a question about the quality of the product, I'd prefer not to use it. Just my own personal opinion.)
That said, there are several other brands of progesterone cream listed on the first page of this thread that
do contain USP progesterone.
Let's not let this thread turn sour like the other one did.
