Progesterone Cream for Perimenopause, Menopause, and other Health Conditions*

Progesterone cream can be a highly effective tool for managing a variety of health concerns, from perimenopause and menopause symptoms to insulin resistance, adrenal imbalances, and even adrenal dominance. As a natural hormone regulator, progesterone works to balance estrogen, insulin, and adrenaline, supporting women and men in maintaining hormone health. Below, you’ll find essential information on how to properly apply progesterone cream, dosing guidelines, and tips for ensuring optimal results.

May need only 1 pump per day and can adjust the dose as needed.

Cycling? Use 14-28 days of the menstrual cycle (Day 1 is the first day of your period).

Typically apply 2–3 pumps daily (morning, afternoon, and at bedtime).

We recommend Platt Wellness Progesterone Cream:

A 5% strength progesterone cream provides about 50 mg of progesterone per pump (approximately 1/4 teaspoon).

In conclusion, progesterone cream offers many benefits for hormone balance, symptom relief, and overall health. When used correctly, it can help you manage perimenopause and menopause symptoms, reduce the effects of adrenal dominance, and promote a healthy, vibrant life. More specific dosing is sometimes necessary. Consult your practitioner for guidance.

Managing Insulin and Adrenaline

Sleep Support: If you have trouble sleeping, try eating a low-glycemic carbohydrate snack (such as green beans or spinach) before bed, then apply progesterone cream just before this snack to enhance sleep quality.

If you have adrenal imbalances or insulin sensitivity, progesterone cream can help regulate insulin levels. Apply the cream 1–3 minutes before meals, up to four times a day if necessary. Managing glucose levels through a balanced diet—high in protein, low-glycemic vegetables, and MCT coconut oil—will also help prevent adrenaline surges and insulin spikes.

Once glucose levels stabilize, usually after a few months, you can reduce the amount of progesterone cream you use, and applying it before meals may no longer be necessary.
