The medical community has lumped PROGESTERONE into the category of PROGESTINS. Progesterone is chemically identical to the hormone made by your body.

Synthetic progestins are found in IUDs, implants, and oral contraceptives. Bio-identical progesterone is made from a compound found in wild yams (diosgenin).
