Dear Jill:
Progestins are totally synthetic, and have many more and pronounced side effects such as: bloating, weight gain, decreased libido, breast or nipple tenderness, and depression. The natural progesterone has the same benefits, but without the severe other side effects as long as the dose is balanced in your system correctly. Natural progesterone, also has some breast cancer protective attributes with it. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you would like to do a hormone consultation with one of our consulting Pharmacists, then please follow the patient empowerment program, which I will now send to you.
