Can you mention the brand and exact ingredients?.
For which?
The progesterone was Now Foods with a whole mess of ingredients: http://www.nowfoods.com/Natural-Progesterone-Liposomal-Skin-Cream-3oz.htm
The PM I have is Barlowes (mentioned already). There are apparently no fillers other than PM powder, in a veggie cap.
The PC,
I'm not familiar with this brand, I didn't see any customer reviews?, which is always a good indicator of how well a product works/ or not. Vitamin D deficiency can reduce the benefits of progesterone. Also, progesterone cream has a benefit that inhibits 5 alpha reductase, which fights DHT (causes hair loss). Do you have a known thyroid issue?.
The PC has tons of reviews on Amazon and iHerb, mostly good. Here's Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-Progesterone-Cream-Ounces/dp/B0013OXGNU#customerReviews
Hmm, okay, thank you.
I do know that progesterone is supposed to help with hair loss, but I'm not the only one with this experience, and I'm not going to put mysel through any periods of shedding to potentially get to the benefits later on. A lot of supplements cause hair shedding for me. I do tend toward vit D deficiency, so I started taking it again as well and getting outdoors. My blood tests haven't indicated any thyroid issues.
