Is this progesterone "bioidentical"?

Not that I am aware of. I was going to do the bioidentical but not covered under insurance and the prices were crazy, I have been using this product for over 2 years and it works great for me. I hope I answered your question.

My understanding (from my gyn PA and reading up on it) is that it is not natural in the sense that progesterone is harvested fully formed from the plant (Mexican Yam I think) but rather that the plant contains the precursors from which the progesterone is synthesized which is then chemically identical to natural human progesterone. Thus, it is "manufactured" i.e. synthesized in a lab, but is the same molecule in the end as the natural one. This is technically what is meant by bio-identical.

Yes, it is because it contains "natural progesterone," not synthetic hormones.

Sorry, I am unsure. I would refer to the website. I have used it since 1999, with success.

Because it contains a different active ingredient. They just changed it to Abieta-8,11,13-trien-18-oic acid (aka Dehydroabietic acid...aka DHAA). From what I've seen so far, it is an effective anti-aromatase in vitro; but I haven't seen human data yet.

As far as I know it is genuine. Like the other respondent, only problem I had was with the pump, but I've had that issue before with this product. That problem in and of itself makes me pretty sure it's authentic. I love the product. Interested as well in the organic product...

It is a type of Estrogen. This is Estriol, though, which is another type of estrogen.

Yes I am. Very good results. Decrease in hot flashes, sweating, and vaginal dryness. I love this product. After a hysterectomy, it is my understandingthat progestrone is not needed.

Yes it is the same product from bioscience, user manual inside is original as well as the toll free customer service. feel free to contact the if you have any concerns. Packaging is different because of the distributor I would suppose.

Not sure. But, I know only very few companies use BioIdentical CoEnzyme Q10 that's been actually used in Humans at NIH and FDA. Check out Nature Made and Quinol brands of CoEnzyme Q10. I personally use a product called Healthy Circulation Support by PVK research that uses BioIdentical CoEnzyme Q10 thats used at NIH. It provides me 100 mg of CoEnzyme Q10, 100% Vitamins A,B,C,D,E,K,Ca etc..per dose for the same price and its been very good on my body.

Correct. It is not working for me, I guess because I need to take with something else for my body to better absorb it. I know Now brand has another one called bio and I really trust that brand. I take other supplements from them and they really work. If I were you I would do more research about it to find the correct one for your condition. Ask your doctor.

Yes it is. Its all synthetic. The hormone kind is illegal for consumer purchase, but I think you can go to your MD and get an injection of it... or so my neighbors have told me.

The ingredients in Mendapause seem to be plant and organic based, with levels that I, as well as my Doctor, felt comfortable with me taking. I would suggest you share this with your Doctor before starting your regimen, but I can tell you that I was delighted to see cofirming results within the first few days!! My symptoms subsided almost immediately, and I felt great. I now take it periodically, as needed. Couldn't be more pleased. It works!

I highly recommend you do internet searches on "estrogen dominance," progesterone therapy," and "bio-identical progesterone cream" before using any estrogen cream, even bio-identical. If you decide your symptoms need estrogen, I believe it should be bio-identical such as the one from this company. I only use progesterone, and only from Smoky Mountain Naturals (after trying several other brands).

I don't recommend using progestin ever. Only bio-identical hormones. Getting hormone levels tested first would be a good idea, not necessary if you know that you need the hormone. Always good to get expert advice first.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with bio active. This is not listed on the label. Is there something else you I can look for to help answer this question?
