What does it do?

Micronized progesterone is a finely ground form of the female hormone progesterone, primarily used to regulate the menstrual cycle and maintain pregnancy. It belongs to the class of follicle-stimulating hormones and luteal hormones, aimed at normalizing female reproductive functions.

This ingredient acts similarly to natural progesterone in the body by stabilizing the endometrium and creating an environment that supports pregnancy. It also helps to support luteal function after ovulation to maintain hormonal balance.
