Micronized progesterone is natural progesterone that has been broken down -- or micronized -- to enable your body to metabolize it more easily. Before this process was discovered, women couldnt take natural progesterone orally because it was absorbed badly and became inactive when swallowed. But now its easily available, allowing you to get the benefits of natural progesterone in the ease of a pill. Most often, you get micronized progesterone at a compounding pharmacy -- a pharmacy that formulates its own drugs according to a doctors prescription. But in 1998, a micronized natural progesterone called Microgest (Miccronized Progesterone) put out by the large pharmaceutical company Schering, became available, which is good news for women who found it difficult to find a compounding pharmacy in their area. The big advantage of natural Microgest (micronized progesterone) is the lack of side effects. Its often prescribed to women who have had bad luck with progestins. In addition, it doesnt inhibit estrogens raising of good cholesterol and may help build bone. All of this, plus the normal protective benefits of adding progesterone to your HRT, makes Microgest a good choice.
