Brief Answer:
progesterone
Detailed Answer:
Hi, there are no studies for herbal versus synthetic progesterone. Currently lakhs of women spread over many continents of world consume progesterone but exact numbers difficult to tell. Progesterone suppliments increased in last 2 decades rapudly. Progesterone increases endometrial thickness to support pregnancy. Normal progesterone secretion in body is by regular egg release in ovary and corpus luteum formation. Progesterone has nothing to do with natural contents as in wine or soil. All suppliments are controlled and registered by FDA. You can always ask your doctor for more information after checking internet. Regards, Dr. Mahesh Koregol
