A member asked:
Is the micronized progesterone any different from regular progesterone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Micronized P4: Practically speaking, for someone using progsterone, no. Progesterone does not dissovle well in water, and so it's poorly absorbed unless micronized in oil. You can think of 'micronized' as meaning dissolved, although it's not quite identical.
