Here is the email thread I had with Long Natural Health regarding the ingredients used in Progest-E:
Hello,
I have been a customer purchasing Progest-E several times, however, I was alerted to the fact that it is supposed to contain soy isoflavones? Would you please comment on that? I realize that your product description includes the fact that it contains soy, however I am not sure that you realize the ramifications of using soy on some of the people who use progesterone as a hormone replacement, particularly in it's isolate form.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
AW

Hi AW,
Dr. Raymond Peat is a leader in the study of hormones and would not compromise his product. The vitamin E is from soy but it is strictly the oily factions of the plant and does not contain any soy proteins therefore the no isoflavones. If you dig into Dr. Raymond Peat’s research you will find the has taken great care to warn of the dangers of both soy and progesterone and has developed his product accordingly.

My response:
Dear xxx,
Are you certain that Dr. Raymond Peat was the one who made the decision to use soy-extracted vitamin E to the Progest-E product? It is my understanding that Dr. Peat is no longer affiliated with Kenogen and I find it difficult to believe that he would approve of such a thing as soy derived ingredients.
Sincerely,
AW
Response:
Hi AW,
Kenogen uses Dr. Peat’s formula and has not changed it as the formula is both safe and effective. The oil, though derived from soy, is not going to behave the same in the body because it lacks the soy proteins. The vitamin E oil will not affect the hormones because it doesn’t contain the compounds in soy necessary to do so.
