Emerita
"Emerita For the last 25 years, one name has become synonymous with the specific health concerns of women the world over -- Emerita. While many women are not too forthcoming when the subject is so personal, Emerita has made it their responsibility to provide women with a caring hand. Today, Emerita is the number-one brand of natural women's products, and is hailed as a leading female health resource. The name Emerita is Latin for “honored woman,” and that explains the company's mission, to provide women with the products they need to feel good, and to feel good about themselves, throughout their lives.
The Emerita story really began in 1978, when Dr. Bruce MacFarland developed and marketed a topical progesterone cream formulated to address the specific symptoms of both premenstrual syndrome and menopause. Today, Dr. MacFarland's daughter, Sharon, has taken the helm of the company, and has helped the company to grow to $10 million in annual sales.
Dr. MacFarland realized that estrogen was not the sole hormone at work in menopause, but actually worked with another hormone, progesterone. The doctor understood that both of these hormones were integral to maintaining a healthful balance in the pre-menopausal stage known as perimenopause. Dr. MacFarland then captured the properties of progesterone in a cream, which could be absorbed through the skin. This cream was Emerita Pro-Gest Natural Progesterone Cream, and its reputation began to grow within the medical community, as well as among female consumers.
And soon, the line of Emerita products grew as well. Today, Emerita carries a full line of products dedicated to perimenopause and menopause. Of course there is Emerita Pro-Gest Natural Progesterone Cream, which has been the best-selling brand of natural progesterone for the last 25 years. But besides Emerita Progesterone Cream, the company sells phytoestrogen cream, a personal lubricant, and a menopause formula. In addition, Emerita sells a progesterone product formulated for the menstrual issues of young women, as well as a soothing cream for menstrual pain and discomfort. Sexual vitality is also addressed by Emerita, in the form of three products: a natural lubricant, a cream that functions as a sexual stimulant for women, and a supplement formulated for female sexual health.
