Why this scored 55/100
Topical progesterone cream marketed for menopausal symptom support. Transdermal progesterone absorption is variable and studies show inconsistent serum-progesterone elevation (Wren 2003). More importantly, progesterone is a bioactive hormone with real risks — endometrial and breast-tissue effects, drug interactions, and need for medical supervision, especially for women on hormone therapy. Sold OTC, this is a hormone product that arguably belongs behind a clinician conversation. Would move higher only with explicit medical-supervision language, per-dose progesterone mg disclosure, and contraindication warnings — but the OTC hormone-cream format itself is a safety flag.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.

Why did Menogest Progesterone Cream score in the Standard tier?
Topical progesterone cream marketed for menopausal symptom support. Transdermal progesterone absorption is variable and studies show inconsistent serum-progesterone elevation (Wren 2003). More importantly, progesterone is a bioactive hormone with real risks — endometrial and breast-tissue effects, drug interactions, and need for medical supervision, especially for women on hormone therapy. Sold OTC, this is a hormone product that arguably belongs behind a clinician conversation. Would move higher only with explicit medical-supervision language, per-dose progesterone mg disclosure, and contraindication warnings — but the OTC hormone-cream format itself is a safety flag.
What are the strongest and weakest aspects of this product?
Strongest: Transparency at 60/100 (dose disclosure vs proprietary blends, and honesty of marketing claims) and Formulation at 55/100 (dose adequacy, bioavailability form, and ingredient redundancy). Weakest: Evidence at 50/100 (quality of published RCT support for the active ingredients at the label dose) and Safety at 45/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling). All six dimensions feed the overall Vyvata score; a weakness on any one dimension pulls the overall down proportionally.
Is Menogest Progesterone Cream third-party tested?
No third-party certifications (NSF, USP, ConsumerLab, or equivalent) were on record at the time of scoring. This affects the Manufacturing dimension score. The manufacturer may test internally or have obtained certification more recently — check the current product label for the most up-to-date information.
