Question NPC Brand

I was wondering if anyone thinks that the NPC you can get over the net or at GNC is any better than the kind you get at Wal-Mart.

I am going to start using it, but I wanted to know before I go and buy some!

Thanks.

I trust Dr. Lee's recommendations becasue the information in his book is fantastic. It is very important that the cream you get is potent and the right dosage:

A lot of these brands are in health food stores. What brand is in Walmart?

The brand that I saw there was "Natures Bounty". The brand that the GNC closest to me carries is "Progesta-Care".

Have you ever heard of either of these brands?

Thanks, everyone. I guess I will have to spend the $35.00 at GNC instead of the $12.00 at Wal-Mart. That really gets me, I am such a tight wad!!!

I use progesta-care and am having great results with it. I ordered it online at http://www.myhealthpro.net for $21 for a 3oz pump.

Good Luck!
