Frequently Asked Questions About Estrogen Creams

Q: How does an estrogen cream formula work?

One of the main ways estrogen creams work is by providing phytoestrogens. These are plant-based compounds that have similar molecular structures to estrogen. When absorbed by the body, these compounds bind to estrogen receptors and perform in the same way as estrogen that’s produced by the body. This has been clinically proven to balance women’s estrogen levels, as well as help improve unwanted menopause symptoms without any of the risks associated with synthetic estrogen. Additionally, these phytoestrogens can protect against skin damage that may have resulted from age, environmental factors, or UV overexposure, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

The correct formula holds the key to success, so look for something that contains ingredients backed by scientific data that work to regulate hormones and reduce uncomfortable symptoms caused by low estrogen levels. The formula should not be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven to be effective and are backed by scientific research for optimal results.

Q: Do all estrogen cream formulas work?

Unfortunately, they do not. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health trends, formulating creams that contain unnecessary or inactive ingredients and the wrong potency or amounts. Often, they even add cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings and preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients. Do your homework and check the labels to make sure you are using a quality product and not just some arbitrary herbs and vitamins haphazardly thrown together.

Q: What are important points to look out for?

For optimal results, all estrogen creams should contain:

• A variety of pro-estrogen plant extracts to ensure that there is a potent amount of phytoestrogens in the formula for effective results. 
• Saw Palmetto to help increase libido.
• Dong Quai to help ease menopausal symptoms. 
• Pomegranate to promote skin health due to its high phytoestrogen and antioxidant content.
• Soybean and Linseed for their abundance of phytoestrogens to boost estrogen levels. 
• Clover Flower to help reduce night sweats and hot flashes, as well as to protect against loss of bone mass. 
• Clary Sage Oil to help reduce cortisol levels and promote a state of relaxation.
• Coconut Oil for its natural hormone-balancing properties and ability to help improve the absorption of other nutrients. 
• No synthetic estrogens, which have been associated with increased health risks.
• No parabens that can cause hormone disruption.
• No artificial fragrances that can irritate or dry out the skin. 
• 100% pure, natural ingredients with no binders, fillers, additives, hormones, or preservatives that could reduce the effectiveness of the product.

They should also come with a 100% money-back guarantee for customers’ confidence and peace of mind, and have non-GMO and cGMP certification to demonstrate purity and safety.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many natural ingredients and products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly.  However, there can be health risks if the product contains synthetic or bioidentical estrogen, so make sure to look for a cream that only contains natural phytoestrogens.

As with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you have an existing medical condition or are taking regular medication. Do not use if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for estrogen creams?

Again, this differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If you exceed the suggested usage you could pose health risks to yourself. Generally, we found that most products suggest applying the cream once or twice a day to the inner arms, thighs, and chest. However, you may want to get your physician to direct you based on your individual needs.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects within as little as a week, while for others, it can take longer. Everybody is different. Results will vary depending on other factors such as your diet, lifestyle choices and genetic disposition. There are many manufacturers that offer refunds should you not get the results that you are looking for. Such a guarantee shows the manufacturer’s confidence in its products and the results they predict you will achieve.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good estrogen cream?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, some are cheap, useless creams that have been formulated without any science-based evidence behind them. Other companies are selling their products for over $80 per item, which is much too expensive. On average, the best creams we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Often, when products appear cheaper, this is indicative of low quality, which will not bring the results you are looking for. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which estrogen cream is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Approved Science Estrobelle. We found that from the products that we analyzed, Estrobelle had the best quality of ingredients, consumer feedback, and customer service.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. We hope that our research has gone some way in helping you make your choice. If you are looking for a well-researched product that brings effective results, we think that you can’t go wrong with Approved Science Estrobelle. It is an excellent quality product with great reviews, and is well-priced.
