What is Natural Progesterone made from?
Natural Progesterone most generally comes from plant fats and oils, usually taken from a substance called “diosgenin” which is extracted from a very specific type of Wild Yam plant that grows in Mexico. In the laboratory, this diosgenin is taken through a filtration and purification process that now makes it identical to the hormone Progesterone. (Be careful of products that list Wild Yam extract as an ingredient, instead of Progesterone.
