Micronized Progesterone

Micronized progesterone is an effective hormone treatment for peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women, similar to the progesterone that the body naturally makes. Progesterone levels dramatically decline during this time of life in women, leading to insomnia, night sweats, changes in mood, and an overall decline in well-being. Micronized progesterone treatment restores levels to premenopausal values, resulting in almost complete resolution of these symptoms. It differs from synthetic progestins, which have been shown to increase breast cancer risk. Micronized progesterone has not been shown to increase this risk, which is why it is the preferred treatment for women.
