Micronized Progesterone

Meaning

Micronized Progesterone is a pharmaceutical preparation of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone that has been mechanically processed into extremely fine particles. This reduction in particle size, or micronization, significantly increases the surface area of the compound, thereby enhancing its absorption and bioavailability when administered orally or via other routes. Clinically, it is used extensively in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for women, particularly to protect the endometrium and to address symptoms associated with progesterone deficiency, such as sleep disturbances.
