Description
Progesterone cream is a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed to help relieve menopausal symptoms, reduce signs of skin aging, and prevent bone loss that could lead to osteoporosis. Progesterone cream is available over the counter and made with natural plant-based progesterone derived from either soybeans or wild yam (Dioscorea villosa).1 It may be a viable alternative to the progesterone pills, suppositories, vaginal gels, and trans dermal patches commonly used for HRT, especially among women who want to avoid synthetic progesterone.
