Progesterone - Natural Human-Identical
Hormone Replacement Therapy

There are two types of Progesterone to choose from-natural or synthetic. Natural progesterone is an exact chemical copy of the progesterone produced by your body.  It is made from yams and soybean plants rich in compounds known as phytoestrogens, which have hormone-like properties. It is an exact chemical copy of the progesterone produced by your body.  Synthetic progesterone, or progestin, is a chemical analog similar to progesterone, but different enough to have some dramatic side effects.

How do you know you need hormone replacement therapy?  Either your physician may order a blood serum test or you may choose to a saliva test yourself.

Saliva hormone tests reflect the tissue concentration of your hormones. Blood and serum tests contain the total hormone, but your tissue are only bathed with the active or effective fraction as found in saliva. Active fraction measurements are superior to blood and urine measurements both in diagnosis and treatment. For more information on saliva testing, please click here.
