Oestra® for Menopause

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Menopause Oestra® supports you over the age of 50. Use daily as prescribed to ease hot flashes, fatigue, low mood, brain fog, vaginal dryness, insomnia, and low libido. It will also protect long-term health like bone, brain, and skin. Stay consistent — steady use is key to results. No need to stop Menopause Oestra® unless you have spotting, or breakthrough bleeding.


Getting started

How Oestra® is different

Oestra® is a personalized, plant-based bioidentical hormone therapy designed for post-menopausal women.

  • Addresses root causes: It enriches your natural progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone to address symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and vaginal dryness while supporting long-term health.

  • Bioidentical, not synthetic: Oestra® uses plant-based hormones that are molecularly identical to what your body produces, and it is not a form of birth control.

Smarter delivery: The vaginal application bypasses the liver, allowing for higher absorption into the bloodstream with minimal side effects.


Why vaginal delivery is a smart choice

Oestra® is a cream applied vaginally, which allows it to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the gut and liver, helping your hormones get where they’re needed faster and more effectively.

  1. Systemic and highly bioavailable • Vaginal delivery bypasses liver metabolism, allowing nearly full absorption of estradiol and progesterone—far better than oral (10-20%) or topical (3-20%). This leads to more stable hormone levels and better symptom control.

  2. More effective, fewer side effects • It delivers consistent results with fewer fluctuations and side effects. Hormone levels remain steady, improving your comfort and results. Clinical evidence—including 100+ studies—supports its effectiveness.

  3. Proven safety • Vaginal hormones don’t raise clotting risks or estrone levels, and they protect the uterine lining. Multiple clinical trials show
    controlled absorption and a strong safety profile compared to oral forms.

  4. Endometrial protection • Vaginal progesterone uses the “first uterine pass effect” to deliver high local levels directly to the uterus, maximizing protection and turn over of the lining, while reducing risks tied to oral forms.

  5. Clinically validated • Multiple randomized trials confirm that vaginal estradiol and progesterone are safe, effective, and superior for
    predictable hormone delivery and endometrial health.

How to Use

How to apply:

  • Apply vaginally once daily, in AM or PM. One pump is the measured amount. Do not use any other amount.

  • Push down once on the top of the bottle until cream dispenses one pearl-sized dose. Shake the bottle if the cream doesn’t dispense after the first few pumps. This is to remove any potential air pockets.

  • Use your finger to apply to vaginal tissue, in the opening or underside of the labia (the mucosal tissue, not the skin).

  • Use and store at room temperature. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Dispose of in the trash when empty or expired.

  • If you miss a dose, resume when you remember. Missed doses can result in a withdrawal bleed.

  • Stop on day 27 of your 28-day cycle to have a period (if you have a uterus and want to mimic your natural rhythm). Do not use while bleeding. You can resume again once bleeding has stopped, or once 2 days have passed and there is little to no bleeding.
    Contact our care team if you don’t want to have a monthly period.

  • One pump lasts ~24 hours.

How Oestra® works

Oestra® enriches your existing hormone levels rather than replacing them. This helps regulate menstrual cycles, improve sleep and mood, and support energy levels through a fluctuating hormonal landscape.

  • It is absorbed through the vaginal lining and goes into your bloodstream systemically.

  • It bypasses liver metabolism to lower the chance of making unwanted liver byproducts.

  • It keeps hormone levels steady and reliable.

  • It works throughout your whole body – not just the vaginal area.

Storage Instructions

Store Oestra® at room temperature. Avoid heat or direct sunlight. Always secure the cap to maintain product integrity .

Understanding Labs

You don’t need labs to start or monitor Oestra® but some women find them helpful to track progress or fine-tune treatment.

Important: Skip Oestra® for 24-48 hours before testing. This gives you a “steady state” reading instead of a temporary peak right after application. *Wait 2-3 months before getting labs.

Helpful labs:

Progesterone

Testosterone

Estradiol

FSH

Target levels for 1 pump/day:

  • Estradiol: 100-300 pg/mL

  • Testosterone: 10-30 ng/dL

  • Progesterone: 2.0-6.0 ng/mL

  • FSH: 1.0-8.0

What to Be Mindful Of

Its purpose: To treat over 100 symptoms of low estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, such as:

  • Heavy and/or painful periods, anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia, vaginal dryness, low libido, hair loss, dry skin, dry mouth, dry eyes, fatigue, brain fog, joint and muscle pain, and more

Drug interactions:

  • If you take any mental health medications, mood changes may happen at first but tend to level out. You may need extra monitoring or support, contact us if needed.

  • If you’re on thyroid medicine or have low thyroid (hypothyroidism), you may need extra monitoring or support, contact us if needed.

  • Stop using hormone herbs or detoxers like black cohosh, chaste berry or DIM.

  • Rifampin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, and St. John’s Wort can reduce the hormone’s efficacy.

  • Keto/itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, and grapefruit juice can slow how your body processes Oestra®.

  • If you’re taking warfarin, you may need extra INR blood tests.
