What is in it
Micronized progesterone, USP.

Why clinicians prescribe it
Sleep often improves first
The sedating effect is the change most members notice within the first fortnight.
Protects the uterine lining
Required with estrogen therapy for anyone who still has a uterus.
Structurally identical
Matches your own hormone rather than a synthetic progestin.
Common questions
Oral micronized progesterone is metabolised into compounds with a calming, sedating effect. Taken at bedtime that is a benefit. Taken in the morning it is a problem.
