Phillips Nutritionals recently conducted a market research study with 300 Yamcon users. Diosgenin does work. I understand the yam cream is progesterone. I have definite signs of estrogen shortage. Wayne Phillips, Ph.
Most women have too much estrogen from external sources in our environment.
If you do have an estrogen shortage, I would recommend black cohosh root, chamomile, our dong quai as natural therapies. I've been on Pro-Gest for eight months and still have had no relief from hot flashes and vaginal dryness. All progesterone is converted by enzymes in the liver and consequently should be used with caution with serious liver disease. Absolutely, many of our 100,000 users or more have had partial or full hysterectomies. If it is a hormonal imbalance, a combination of progesterone and phytoestrogens combined with DHEA or pregnedilone is helpful.
