A member asked:
Prometrium (micronized progesterone) claims to be from wild yam but is there a synthetic in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Technically, no: Wild yam does not contain actual progesterone, but Progesterone that is structurally identical to that found in the human body can be made from it. This is a synthetic process but the final product is not a synthetic.
