Thank You, Lotus. Your explanation of the murky world of progesterone creams is a revelation - your product labels and links say it all.

I am still attempting to track down a supply of the Smoky Mountain PC here in the UK, so far without success. I had a reply this morning from iHerb.com which appears to be the only UK stockists. I registered with them for an update when stock became available, but today they said:

‘You recently subscribed to receive updates on the out of stock item below. Unfortunately, this item will continue to be unavailable for an extended period of time.’

Unfortunately, I have so far been unable to find a single UK supplier that stocks genuine bio-identical micronised progesterone cream. I am beginning to wonder if this may be down to a different regulatory system here in the UK in which we are only able to obtain the cheap yam extract ‘cosmetic grade’ products?

I will keep looking, but in the meantime your comprehensive explanation means that I at least understand the subject a bit better and can discriminate between the products on offer here. I am hoping that a UK forum member that has already figured out a dependable local product may chime in with what has worked for them.

Thanks for casting some light on this.
