What does it do?

Progesterone (unrefined) is a form of the luteal hormone, one of the female hormones, used to regulate female reproductive function. It primarily stabilizes the endometrium as both a follicle hormone and luteal hormone, helping to maintain pregnancy.

Progesterone thickens and stabilizes the endometrium to create an environment where the fertilized egg can implant. It also contributes to maintaining pregnancy by inhibiting the contraction of uterine muscles.
