Q:	I don't see any opportunity to purchase your products on your site; why is that?
A:	Cycle Balance Cream is only sold through distributors. We do not feel it is right to compete with those who faithfully purchase in bulk from us. Please see our Information Links to find a place to purchase or contact us about purchasing wholesale in bulk.
Q:	Why is cold-pressed so important?
A:	Cold-pressed has to do with the oils that carry the progesterone cream into your body and ultimately to the receptor sites. Cold-pressed oils are pulled out of the seed not extracted by high heat. As with any food, when you heat to high temperatures you remove the enzymes. The vitamins and minerals are still present when you eat the food but you have to ADD enzymes or your body cannot access them. It is the same with here. Since our oils are cold processed they enter the skin more naturally and the bio-availability of the product is higher.
Q:	Where does your progesterone come from and is it certified?
A:	Our Progesterone is: micronized progesterone USP from wild yam only. We purchase progesterone and estriol from a USA supplier only. This allows us to get certificates of analysis from US based labs. This helps us when there is a difference in the certificates provided and our own tests.
Q:	What is lanol exactly?
A:	Lanol, vegetable ester is a blend of refined vegetable oils. The blend of these oils changes some in proportions at times but the major oils in the product are Soybean, Apricot Kernel, Sweet Almond, Safflower and Sunflower oil. It is listed as lanol because other wise the labeling would have to be changed continually.
Q:	What if i am allergic to soy?
A:	Soybean oil is used as a carrier oil but this product is not for internal use. It is not the same as eating soybeans. If you are concerned further, you are always encouraged to seek your physican's advice. A naturopath or kineisiologist might be of help to determine this better for you. Remember that our product is derived from wild yam and not soy.
