Utrogestan 100mg (Progesterone) Capsules

Utrogestan is a type of progestogen called ‘micronised progesterone’. It is derived from plants, including yam, a root vegetable. It is identical in structure to the hormone progesterone produced in our bodies. Because of this, it is often referred to as ‘body identical’. This is different to unregulated, compounded bioidentical hormones.

Women who take HRT and still have their womb (uterus) are required to take a type of progestogen, in addition to oestrogen. This is because taking oestrogen can lead to a build-up in the lining of your womb, over time. Taking a progestogen, such as Utrogestan, prevents this occurring and reduces associated risks.
