Progesterone 101

Many women and doctors today believe that progesterone is the same as progestin. The two couldn’t be further apart. Natural progesterone is made from the root of the Mexican Wild Yam. It is brought into a lab and converted into bioidentical progesterone. It is the same progesterone as our bodies produced at thirty-five years of age and younger. Our body can recognize it and it helps with balancing our estrogen, relieving the symptoms of Estrogen Dominance. In addition, it protects against unopposed estrogen and helps to protect us from many different forms of female cancers.

With progestin, the drug companies went to the same source, the root of The Mexican Wild Yam and converted it into a synthetic chemical (which they could then patent and sell). Our bodies can not recognize it, nor does it help to oppose estrogen. The synthetic form of progesterone, known as progestin, can be found in Prempro and Provera. Let’s look at the difference between natural progesterone and progestin.
