Femgest Progesterone Ingredients
Femgest Progesterone does not have any phytoestrogenic ingredients which are plant molecules that exhibit estrogen-like behavior. They are not estrogens but are similar enough to bind to estrogen receptors throughout your body. They are needed to make up for reduced estrogen levels during menopausal years which would otherwise lead to menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night flashes, and mood swings.
Femgest’s main ingredient is progesterone. The progesterone used is USP grade and is pure and makes up for progesterone deficiencies experienced during menopause.
Does Femgest Progesterone Work?
As we have discussed, the main cause of menopause symptoms is the lack of estrogen but more importantly progesterone. Femgest just addresses the lack of progesterone.
It does not have other ingredients besides progesterone to help with menopause.
Is Femgest Progesterone Safe?
Traditional Hormonal Hormone Replacement Therapy relies on supplying the body with estrogen and/or progesterone. Femgest uses natural progesterone to supplement the body’s low progesterone levels.

Thanks for your product evaluations and support of womens health. I am looking for a progesterone cream. Not a menopause cream. I am estrogen dominant with a history of surgery for fibroids, fibrocystic breasts, acne, etc. I will soon be 50 and still have regular menstrual cycles complete with severe cramps and heavy bleeding. My mom, sisters, and nieces all have the same imbalance. I am glad this cream does NOT include estrogen, plant based or otherwise. There are many ways to get estrogen supplementation but precious few ways to get natural progesterone. There is not as much attention by doctors or pharma on the struggle to balance excess estrogen. So, I think this is the cream for me.
