Progesterone Capsules

What is Progesterone?

Progesterone is a crucial hormone in the female reproductive system, primarily produced by the ovaries. Its role is pivotal in preparing the body for pregnancy.

During the menstrual cycle, the body releases progesterone to thicken the uterine lining, creating a supportive environment for a potential fertilized egg. If pregnancy does not occur, hormone levels decrease, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining during menstruation.

When a fertilized egg implants in the uterus, progesterone levels remain elevated, this supports pregnancy by maintaining the uterine lining and preparing the breasts for milk production.

Understanding the role of progesterone is essential for women’s reproductive health and pregnancy outcomes.

Progesterone and HRT

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is essential for replenishing low hormone levels, such as progesterone, when the body cannot produce sufficient amounts. Patients often turn to HRT to support their bodies’ natural functions and maintain overall health.

Progesterone is vital for treating various conditions related to the menstrual cycle, fertility, and overall quality of life. Additionally, it can help improve sleep for some individuals.

Irregularities in progesterone levels can lead to:
  • Abnormal ovulation
  • Limited uterine lining growth (luteal phase defect)
  • Abnormal thickening of the uterine lining (endometrial hyperplasia)
  • Menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, etc.)
  • Difficulty sleeping

Taking progesterone under the supervision of a medical practitioner can help alleviate several symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, promoting better health and well-being.

Compounded Generic Progesterone

Compounding pharmacies can create customized options for progesterone products. Our professional lab combines the necessary bioidentical hormone with one or two additional ingredients to develop the required hormone medication.

These compounded progesterone treatments are available in various dosage sizes and forms, including troches, capsules, gels, and more, ensuring tailored solutions for individual needs.

Compounded Generic Progesterone

Our progesterone products are of the highest standards. They are meticulously crafted in our board-certified lab, containing as few as 2 or 3 ingredients per capsule. These ingredients are tailored to ensure the desired release of the medication, whether fast or slow release, meeting the highest standards of pharmaceutical excellence.

Importantly, we do not use peanut oil, making our products safe for individuals with peanut allergies. Instead, we use yam or soy, with yam being our preferred base. However, we always consider and accommodate client preferences.

How to Take Progesterone

Patients typically take progesterone capsules, troches, and rapid dissolve tablets (RDTs) once daily.

While capsules are swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system, troches and RDTs are sublingual forms that dissolve in the mouth.

This delivery method bypasses first-pass metabolism by delivering hormones through the capillaries in the cheeks and under the tongue, increasing bioavailability.

Due to the drowsiness side effect, many patients take their progesterone medication right before bed.

A Great Option for Progesterone

Compounding allows for unique customizations to fit the patient’s needs better.

Doctors do not lock patients into specific dosage sizes. Pharmacies can compound any size from 1mg to 350 mg. 

If capsules are not the best fit, we can compound progesterone into different forms, such as troches and RDTs.

Compounded generic progesterone can be a part of hormone replacement therapy with the guidance of your practitioner and pharmacist.
