Bioidentical Progesterone

Meaning

Bioidentical progesterone is a pharmaceutical preparation of the hormone progesterone that is chemically and structurally identical to the progesterone produced endogenously by the human corpus luteum and adrenal glands. This precise molecular match ensures that the compound interacts with the body’s progesterone receptors in the exact manner as the native hormone, eliciting predictable and appropriate physiological responses. It is a cornerstone of hormone replacement therapy, specifically used to mitigate symptoms of progesterone deficiency and protect the endometrium.
