What is progesterone and USP natural progesterone?

Progesterone is a steroid hormone produced from cholesterol in the ovaries by the corpus luteum (the tissue that is left behind after ovulation). It is also produced in the adrenal gland in smaller quantities. It is converted in the body to produce other steroid hormones like estrogen, testosterone, cortisol and androstenedione. The main aim of progesterone in women is to sustain any pregnancy that may arise from fertilization of the egg released from the ovary during ovulation.

Progesterone is manufactured from Diosgenin, a substance found in Mexican Wild Yam and also from soybeans. It is converted to bioidentical progesterone in the laboratory.


USP stands for United States Pharmaceutical grade. This means that the progesterone is extracted under the strictest conditions to ensure that it the same as the progesterone that is produced in your body by the corpus luteum and that it is of the highest quality. You may see wild yam creams or those with mexican yam extract. These are a total waste of money! They contain only diosgenin which is cheaper than bioidentical progesterone. It cannot be converted to progesterone in the body. It will not improve your symptoms.

Fem Dophilus reviews

  • During sex I had a very strong and embarrassing fishy odor......My first day taking it I saw results. I was impressed, no sticky discharge and no odor! The big test was sex and it passed that test with flying colors....no smell that consumed the entire room. Those pills saved my life lol.
  • I tried this product and followed the advice of other reviewers for tapering down the dosage. It's been three years and I haven't had a recurrence. HIGHLY recommended.
  • I've tried everything (else) for BV over the past 8 years and nothing works. The doctors are clueless... My sex life is better because I don't have to worry about an awful smell afterwards. I take 2 capsules a day faithfully and insert one vaginally every other day. Fem-Dophilus is a miracle in a little capsule!
  • When I think of all the money I have spent over the years on creams, prescriptions, OTC supplements, homeopathic treatments, special diets, etc -- I wish more doctors knew about this product. It would have saved me so much pain and heartache.
