Progesterone Milled

Drug Details

Progesterone is a hormone essential for regulating various functions in the female reproductive system. When administered orally, its effectiveness can be influenced by the size of its particles. Milling is a process that reduces the particle size of progesterone, enhancing its absorption in the body. Micronized progesterone, which has been finely milled to particles smaller than 10 micrometers, is particularly effective in improving bioavailability. This form is often suspended in oil to further enhance absorption, making it a preferred choice in hormone replacement therapies. By reducing particle size and using appropriate formulations, the body can more efficiently utilize orally administered progesterone.
