The Female Enhancing Formula works in conjunction with the normal cycles of a woman's body, and provides nutrients that have long been recognized as effective in assisting the body to regenerate and heal. These herbal combinations help support the female endocrine system.
Female Enhancing Formula

Natural Progesterone
Since the dawning of the age of industrialization, women appear to have been fraught with more physical complaints stemming
from
PMS. As a matter of fact, 40 to 60 percent of all western women exhibit some
form of PMS problems. Many researchers believe this is tied directly to the
abrupt change in dietary habits, along with the adulteration of the food supply.
We consume foods that contain high quantities of residual growth hormones from
animal sources. We ingest both pesticides and herbicides at an alarming rate.
We fail to properly digest what we eat, and toxins build up in our bodies. We
expose ourselves to synthetic materials that have been proven to have estrogenic
properties. All of these things have added to the already emotionally stressed
body. With the rising incidences of PMS problems, the medical community turned to their solution of pharmaceutical intervention, and moved away from the more natural approach of a combination of diet, exercise and education. At the same time, estrogen therapy was being touted for its ability to help reduce the ravages of osteoporosis that naturally occur as women reach the age of menopause. The problem, however, is that long- term use of synthetic estrogen and progestins do not appear to have a significant positive effect after about five years. After evaluating the potential negative side effects, a lot of women decide to forego hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
A number of nutritionally oriented medical doctors realized their patients were continuing to have problems with the synthetic approach (along with possible dangerous side effects), and began to study progesterone and its effect on the body. By supplementing the body with natural progesterone, along with its precursor, pregnenolone, the following positive results have been noted compared to higher than normal levels of estrogen:
Maintains secretory endometrium
Protects against breast fibrocysts
Helps to use fat for energy
Natural diuretic
Natural antidepressant
Facilitates thyroid hormone action
Normalizes blood clotting
Helps to restore libido
Normalizes blood sugar levels
Normalizes zinc and copper levels
Restores proper cell oxygen levels
Helps to prevent endometrial cancer
Helps to prevent breast cancer
Stimulates osteoblast bone building
Necessary for survival of embryo
The above is just a partial listing of the many positive benefits of supplementing the body with natural progesterone. When estrogen is properly balanced with natural progesterone, the body begins to regain its ability to heal more readily and take on a more youthful appearance.
Pregnenolone, the parent hormone of all other hormones in the body, is rapidly becoming known for its ability to improve conditions of arthritis, stress reduction, cognitive function, immune stimulation, Alzheimer's Disease, dermal rejuvenation, aging, cardiovascular, and PMS problems. By supplementing this natural hormone, many difficult conditions may be improved with consistent use. Pregnenolone is readily absorbed and is retained by the body for extended periods to be used as needed.
Estrogen Problems
According to the research of two prominent medical doctors, Dr. Ray Peat and Dr. John R. Lee, natural progesterone plays an extremely important factor in helping to control bone loss. For a number of years, the primary treatment of postmenopausal women was estrogen supplementation. This was primarily due to some initial studies that were done that showed estrogen could help to reduce the acceleration of bone loss that begins to occur after a women reaches her mid-thirties, and increases during menopause. It is now believed that while supplemental estrogen may slow down the problems of osteoporosis, it does not either stop or reverse the problem. In fact, the following potentially negative side effects of estrogen therapy have been observed:
•Creates proliferative endometrium
•Fibrocystic breast problems
•Increased body fat
•Salt and fluid retention
•Depression and headaches
•Interferes with thyroid hormone
•Increased blood clotting
•Decreases libido
•Impairs blood sugar control
•Loss of zinc and retention of copper
•Reduced oxygen levels in all cells
•Increased risk of endometrial cancer
•Increased risk of breast cancer
•Slightly restrains osteoblast function
•Reduces vascular tone
Also, few doctors recommend natural progesterone, and rely on the synthesized progestins mentioned earlier. These progestins cannot provide the same beneficial effects of natural progesterone.
Our bodies are also subjected to constant exposure to petrochemicals that cause estrogen- like responses. Over time, these chemicals can raise estrogen levels in the body. When supplemental estrogen is prescribed without unopposed natural progesterone, an imbalance occurs that is difficult for the body to respond to. This imbalance may give rise to the problems listed above.
The best method of getting natural progesterone in the body is through the transdermal process. The Female Enhancing Formula is a cream that is normally applied twice daily to the soft tissues of the body (thin skin) for maximum results. As everyone has different needs, it is highly recommended that women read either ”Hormone Replacement Therapy, Yes or No”, by Dr. Betty Kamen, or “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause”, by Dr. John R. Lee. Both of these are excellent sources of additional information on the complex nature of hormone supplementation.
