I got it from my naturopath. There are places where you can order it online if you can't find a doctor who will give it to you, here's a link http://www.yourlifesource.com/womens-health.htm with lots of info. I haven't noticed a change in hair growth, but I don't have much of a problem with that. It's really helped me with weight loss though. I was eating healthy and exercising a lot for months but not losing weight. When I started taking the cream I began losing about a lb. a week.
