Product Overview
Progesterone is a natural steroid hormone essential for human reproductive health. It plays a critical role in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy establishment and maintenance, and is a key API in hormone replacement therapy and fertility treatments.
Progesterone prepares the endometrium for implantation, maintains gestation by reducing uterine contractility, and modulates immune response at the maternal-fetal interface. In human pharmaceutical applications, it is used in oral, vaginal, intramuscular, and transdermal formulations for a wide range of indications.
