Must have prescription

Intrarosa is comprised of PRASTERONE aka DHEA. Ingredients: prasterone and off-white hard fat (Witepsol). WITEPSOL® suppository compounds consist of glycerol esters of vegetable saturated fatty acids, mainly lauric acid. this is a somewhat clean pharmaceutical.

Too many chemicals and fillers:

C12 - 15 alkyl benzoate, caprylic/capric triglycerides, cetyl alcohol, ethylhexylglycerin, glycerin USP, glyceryl stearate, hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer, oleic acid, olive oil, PEG-100 stearate, polymethylsiloxane, purified water, stearic acid, trolamine NF, and vitamin E acetate

There are too many chemicals to outweigh the benefits in my opinion. OPt for an option above get your hormones from a compounding pharmacy

They use herbs which are not organic and contain fillers and milk:

MS-10 Japanese thistle and thyme leaf extract, DIM - Diindolylmethame, chasteberry extract, L-theanine, saffron extract, maca root powder, rhodiola rosea root extract, glucomylase, amylase, cellulase, acid protease, maltase, invertase, glycine, l-proline, and lactobacilus LB Fermentate

Hypromellose, gellan gum, carrot concentrate (natural color), dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, glyceryl dibehenate, bamboo shoot leaf extract

I reached out to the company since they don't provide ingredients on their website. Here's the list:

Estradiol

Alcohol (as a base)

Purified water

Carbomer 934P

Triethanolamine

Propylene glycol

I do not approve of these ingredients, especially propylene glycol which acts as a preservative. Propylene glycol can also cause dermatitis and is classified by the ewg as a skin irritant. I do not recommend products from alloy.

I don't recommend estrogen pills (nor birth control pills for this same reason).

People who use estrogen-only pills during menopause were more likely to be diagnosed with high blood pressure than those using patches or creams. When taken as a pill, estrogen is predominately metabolized in the liver, where the hormone is turned inactive and then passes from the body via urine and feces. When applied as a patch on the skin, estrogen enters the blood stream and bypasses the liver, while vaginal creams and suppositories are absorbed locally.

I reached out to the company since they don't provide ingredients on their website. Here's the list:

Estradiol (active ingredient)

Acrylic adhesive

Silicone adhesive

Oleyl alcohol

Povidone

Dipropylene glycol

Polyester film

These ingredients are deplorable! For instance, Dipropylene glycol is also used in anti-freeze! All products from allot get a hard pass in my book! No thank you!

I don't recommend soy!
Ingredients: S-equol, Dicalcium Phosphate, Fermented Soy Germ, Silicon Dioxide, Croscarmellose Sodium, Magnesium Stearate, Coating (Hypromellose, Glycerin, Hydroxypropyl Cellulose), Microcrystalline Cellulose.

Phytoestrogens, found in soy, mimic the actions of estrogen in the body. Although perimenopausal and menopausal women lose estrogen after 35, taking too many phytoestrogens can upset the delicate hormonal balance. Soy contains compounds that may interfere with nutrient absorption and digestion.

honestly, these list of chemicals are horrendous:

Purified Water, Glycerin, C12-15 Alkyl benzoate, glyceryl stearate, PEG -100 stearate, Stearic acid, Oleic acid, Olive oil, Hydroxyethyl acrylate/sodium acryloyldimethyl taurate copolymer, Caprylic/capric triglycerides, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Cetyl alcohol, Squalane, Polysorbate 60, Trolarnine, vitamin E acetate, EttryltExylglycerine

besides the water and olive oil, all of these ingredients are banned in my household and I don't recommend using them!

This is a prescription I am against due to the toxic and carcinogenic ingredient list: Ammonium hydroxide, ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethylene glycol palmitostearate, FD&C Red #40, gelatin, glycerin, isopropyl alcohol, lecithin, medium chain triglycerides, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol stearates, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, propylene glycol, purified water, sorbitol-sorbitan solution, and titanium dioxide.

Red #40 is a known carcinogen. I would never recommend this pharmaceutical. While it's nice estrogen suppositories exist, I do not approve of this product.

I personally signed up for this program ($1,600 USD for one year). AT my first appointment the nurse practitioner was astonished I still had a period and felt uneasy about prescribing me hormones. I expected a clinician who specializes in hormones to have a deeper understanding of hormones but she did not. This is a money-making scheme that preys on women.

I do not recommend this Vaginal Estrogen Ring (Similar to the birth control ring, Nuva Ring) because it contains the following: Estradiol, silicone polymers, barium sulfate and silicone fluid. While a ring may sound convenient, barium sulfate is a heavy metal. Barium sulfate ore is mined and mostly used by the oil and gas industries to make drilling muds. I would not recommend this product to my friends or family.

Out of all the pharmaceuticals, this is one I would probably recommend - with a caveat... It contains polyethylene glycol which is a derivative of petrolatum. ingredients: hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, maize starch and magnesium stearate. The film coating contains hypromellose and polyethylene glycol. maize is another word for corn and corn is a food commonly sprayed with pesticides. While not horrible, it's also not amazing.

This cream uses parabens and sulfates which I do not recommend. Ingredients: purified water, propylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, white ceresin wax, mono- and di-glycerides, hypromellose 2208 (4000 cps), sodium lauryl sulfate, methylparaben, edetate di-sodium and tertiary-butylhydroquinone. They also use propylene glycol which can cause irritation. Hard pass on using such a hard cream on delicate skin. Ask your doctor for compounded estrogen mixed in jojoba oil.

toxic ingredients: a mixture of sodium estrone sulfate and sodium equilin sulfate and other components, including sodium sulfate conjugates: 17 α-dihydroequilin, 17 α-estradiol, and 17 β-dihydroequilin, cetyl esters wax, cetyl alcohol, white wax, glyceryl monostearate, propylene glycol monostearate, methyl stearate, benzyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, glycerin, and mineral oil.

This pharmaceutical uses PVP which the EWG has classified as toxic or harmful.

Ingredients: progesterone, lactose monohydrate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, adipic acid, sodium bicarbonate, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, pregelatinized starch, and colloidal silicon dioxide. Hard pass on this suppository.

These ingredients are shameful: peanut oil NF, gelatin NF, glycerin USP, lecithin NF, titanium dioxide USP, D&C Yellow No. 10, and FD&C Red No. 40. It doesn't make sense to take this pharmaceutical progesterone when topical progesterone is available over the counter. This pill is full of carcinogens and deplorable in every imaginable way.

When progesterone is available over the counter, it doesn't make sense to use chemical-laden gel.

ingredietns: progesterone, sorbic acid, glycerine, light liquid paraffin, hydrogenated palm oil glycerides, carbomer 974P, polycarbophil, sodium hydroxide and purified water.

I would never recommend paraffin!

Why use a non-hormonal pill to treat vaginal dryness when studies show bioidentical estrogen is great at treating it!

Ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, povidone, pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, titanium dioxide, & triacetin.
