Menopause & FAQ

I'm in my late fifties and 5 years ago I had a partial hysterectomy due to very large fibroids. Would your wild yam cream be suitable for me to rebalance my hormones from the estrogen dominance or does it increase estrogen?

The wild yam cream contains a combination of herbs including Wild Yam (diosgenin), Chaste Berry and Red Clover. These herbs in particular are effective at "influencing" progesterone in the body. Progesterone controls the other hormones including estrogen. If you are estrogen dominant or estrogen deficient, the promotion/influence of progesterone from the cream will help stabilise or balance your estrogen levels and other hormones.
