Serenity cream - progesterone cream

Can anyone tell me if they know if product contains soy beans ? Is it safe to use for T3 users ?

I bought some recently it doesn’t state if it contains soy

What progesterone do others use ?

I can’t take HRT due to my heart

Thanks

Hi,

Have you thought about contacting the manufacturer? I've never tried either creams so I cannot advise.

TT x.

I’ve rang them , there’s no one answering the phone .

[ThyroidThora in reply to Hidden]

Have you looked online?

[Hidden in reply to ThyroidThora]

Yes there’s no info I can find 🤷🏻‍♀️

[ThyroidThora in reply to Hidden]

That is not good.

I use Onas progesterone cream because its soy free.

[Hidden in reply to bagpuss61]

Thank you

Do you find it helpful

[bagpuss61 in reply to Hidden]

Yes I wouldn't be without it, although I can't say its really helped with thyroid & adrenal issues. But I do feel worse without it as a menopausal woman.

[Hidden in reply to bagpuss61]

Where did you get if from , I’ve just looked on Amazon I can’t find it .

Did you find it helpful for menopause weight gain?

[bagpuss61 in reply to Hidden]

Weight gain is usually connected to estrogen dominance. I took calcium D glucarate for that as it helps the liver alleviate excess estrogen. which did help with weight loss after a few months plus very healthy living, loads of veg and fruit, minimal meat if any, and good carbs such as brown rice and sweet potatoes. by taking progesterone it increases the ratio as progest should be higher than estrogen. And then of course getting the thyroid balanced helps with keeping the weight off, I'm on T3 only which suits me better.

I’ve looked this Calcium D Glucarate up , is it by any chance on par with Oesteocare that’s calcium magnesium and D3

[Serendipitious in reply to Hidden]

Calcium D glucarate is completely different. It tackles Beta glucuronidase in the gut which if you have in excess causes metabolised oestrogen to be reabsorbed. You can identify this in a GI MAP stool test. That’s one of the reasons gut health is so important. Also helps with liver detoxification of oestrogen.

[Hidden in reply to Serendipitious]

How do I get a GI MAP stool test ?

[Serendipitious in reply to Hidden]

That’s a test you can get through a practitioner like a nutritional therapist or a doctor that has an interest in functional medicine.

I’d recommend reading Izabella Wentz’s book to get a grounding on all this first.

[Hidden in reply to Serendipitious]

I don’t think we have functional doctors in the UK .

[Serendipitious in reply to Hidden]

You’re right we don’t through the NHS. You could look up providers of the test and see which practitioners offer it. Often the websites that sell it can give you that information.

There are nutritional therapists in the U.K. that can help and have training.

[Hidden in reply to Serendipitious]

I’ll look into this thank you .

[Hidden in reply to Serendipitious]

Thank you so much for this info very helpful 😇

[Hidden in reply to Serendipitious]

I’ve just looked it up , these are very expensive . Isn’t there an alternative ? A cheaper option

[Serendipitious in reply to Hidden]

I’d recommend reading the book by Dr Izabella Wentz first to get a grounding on the subject and she has her own protocols too which you can follow.

[Hidden in reply to Serendipitious]

Is she vegetarian friendly ?

[Serendipitious in reply to Hidden]

I’ve quickly checked your profile sounds like you’re having menopausal or perimenopause issues. Highly recommend you check out Dr Lara Briden’s website and books.

Yes Dr Wentz does speak for non meat eaters.

[Serendipitious in reply to Hidden]

Are you still using the red lamp? Is it still helping? Dr Wentz recommends red light therapy.

[Hidden in reply to Serendipitious]

I am 😊 I restarted it a few weeks ago after taking a break . I’m only using it on my scalp tho because I’ve lost so much hair . I can see it’s helping re growth but I’m also taking biotin 1000mg each morning

[Serendipitious in reply to Hidden]

If you’re peri menopausal that can cause lots of hypothyroid like symptoms too, including hair loss.

I’ve been using it for years without any problems and I’m on T4/T3 combo.

[Hidden in reply to Trillylil]

Good to know , the only reason I felt comfortable buying it was the fact Dr Petefield put his seal of approval on it . He was a knowledgable chap on T3 . Then I read somewhere that progesterone contains Soy .

Thanks for your input
