What Exactly is natural progesterone and how does it differ from synthetic?
Natural Progesterone, a cholesterol derivative, matches exactly the chemical formulation of the body’s own progesterone and thus causes no side effects. Manufacturers of synthetic progesterone alter the chemical makeup of progesterone in order to create progestins. Progestins in their altered molecular structure may cause many side effects, such as birth defects or abortion, fluid retention, epilepsy, migraine, asthma, cardiac, or kidney disfunction and depression.
