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.
A smiling male patient radiates physiological well-being from effective hormone optimization. His positive demeanor illustrates excellent metabolic health and enhanced cellular function, demonstrating therapeutic outcomes of TRT protocol and treatment adherence during patient consultation.
