Dr. Peat's Progest E Oil Complex, 34 ml

If the weather is hot where you live, there is no need to worry about Progest E being affected by the heat during the shipping process. Progest E is very stable. Upon receipt, though it is not required, it is recommended to refrigerate the Progest E for the very best storage conditions, which will preserve its shelf life of 2 years. It is important to store Progest E out of direct light, which prevents product degradation. 

Our Progest E Oil is kept refrigerated at all times. We purchase a new batch from the manufacturer every 2 weeks, so you are always assured the freshest Progest E Oil possible.

Dr. Peat's Progest E Replenishing Oil Complex (natural progesterone oil) from Kenogen is natural bioidentical progesterone derived from wild yam preserved in vitamin E oil. Progest E continues to be our number #1 best seller.

The natural progesterone in Dr. Peat’s Progest-E Complex is USP.

Some people experience the taste of this product to be a little bitter, or strange tasting. This is natural. This product is preserved with natural vitamin E.

• Fibrocystic breasts
• Toxic effects of estrogen

Key Benefits:

• Supports full spectrum issues related to estrogen imbalance

Additional Information:

• In this 10% solution of Progest-E Complex, one small drop contains about 3.5 milligrams of progesterone
• The size of the drops will vary depending on several factors for example, the amount of pressure applied squeezing the bottle, and the temperature of the solution. 
• Our standard reference “small drop” is a 30-40 mg drop. There are approximately 970 drops of that size in a 34 ml bottle, each containing 3.5 mgs of progesterone.
• A 60 mg drop contains 6 mg and is probably a more common minimum amount to use. An unpopped kernel of popcorn looks the same size as a 60 mg drop of Progest-E and can be used as a reference for people who don’t have a scale for weighing small drops. There are approximately 560 drops weighing 60 mg in each 34 ml bottle.  
• We keep our inventory refrigerated at all times. And it is replenished every few weeks, so we have only the freshest Progest-E in stock at all times!

Dispensing and Storage Tips:

Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures and natural light is known to reduce the shelf life of natural vitamin E.  To get the greatest benefit from the natural vitamin E in Progest-E, keep the product refrigerated, or in a cool dark place.

Natural vitamin E is more viscous when cold. To facilitate dispensing drops when you are down towards the end of the bottle, use the following procedure: With the cap on, put your bottle of Progest-E upside down in a a juice glass in the fridge. Remove the glass containing the bottle of Progest-E from the fridge approximately 20-30 minutes before use. This allows the solution to get to room temperature and makes dispensing drops easier. Storing the bottle upside down also ensures that the solution is always in the dropper tip ready for use. Note: Do not store upside down when the bottle is full because the liquid will dispense too quickly. Store right side up until it becomes difficult to squeeze out liquid from the bottle.

Is Progest-E micronized?

The particle size definitely makes a difference—the smaller the better!  Tests have shown micronized progesterone to have significantly higher absorption than standard milled progesterone.  In the US the standard milled has an average particle size of approximately 45 microns, micronized progesterone is less than 15 microns.  However, for progesterone containing products, it is the formula and its inherent stability (or lack of it) which will determine the benefits available to users of the product.  Due to its unique formulation, Progest-E has a functional progesterone particle size over a thousand times smaller than micronized progesterone, in a biologically pure and highly stable formula.

What about the Soy in Progest E?

The vitamin E in the Progest-E Complex is derived from NON-GMO soy. The vitamin E used in Progest-E is of the highest quality and purification level and it does not contain soybean oil. People with soy allergies should have no problem with this product.

The vitamin E in the Progest-E Complex is derived from soy, yet many people with soy allergies have no problem with Progest-E because often an allergic reaction is a response to soy proteins.

There are no proteins in the oily fractions of the plant (such as vitamin E), which is a highly purified distillate. If you have a soy allergy, it is best to first test on a small area of the skin (ex: ankle).

Source of Vitamin E in Progest E:

The process of extracting vitamin E from soybeans is designed so that the vitamin E will not be oxidized or degraded during manufacturing, and this is verified by analysis at the end of each extraction.  

There are a few other plants being used to make “vitamin E” products, but the products being produced from those sources are low grade varieties of vitamin E with various contaminants including a high PUFA content. They also carry a greater risk of pesticide contamination.  

There are several undesirable substances found in whole soybeans, but they are all eliminated during the extraction of vitamin E. This cannot be said of the other plant-sourced vitamin Es on the market, and therefore we believe the soy-derived vitamin E remains the best and healthiest plant-sourced vitamin E on the market today.
