What is Progesterone?
Natural progesterone is derived from diosgenin. Diosgenin is an organic compound found in
Mexican wild yams, soy, as well as other plant sources. Natural progesterone is identical
in molecular structure to progesterone produced by the human body. Because it is
classified as a "natural" product no prescription is required for its purchase.
One of progesterone's most important and powerful roles in the body is to balance or
oppose estrogen. Under the normal healthy circumstances of a woman's monthly cycle,
estrogen is the dominant hormone for the first two weeks and is balanced by progesterone,
which is the dominant hormone for the latter two weeks. When our progesterone levels are
in balance, the body better handles excess estrogen.

Synthetic Progestins are not the same as Natural Progesterone!
Medical literature tends to equate natural progesterone/progesterone with synthetic
progestins. This assumption is altogether incorrect. Progesterone is a specific molecule
made by the adrenal glands and by the ovary during of ovulation. Synthetic progestins are
drugs that are manufactured by pharmaceutical companies and are normally available by
prescription only. Synthetic progestins are not natural to the body and are known to cause
undesirable side effects.
The pharmaceutical companies who manufacture and market synthetic progestins, do not
market natural progesterone because they cannot patent a natural product. As a result
these companies do not provide funding for further clinical research nor promote it to
healthcare professionals. This dynamic has hindered western medicine from becoming more
informed of the benefits of natural progesterone.
