Progesterone Capsules are a compounded bioidentical hormone preparation containing micronised progesterone — the body-identical form of the naturally occurring progestogen — in an oral capsule. BioBlend pharmacists compound them against a valid prescription, most often to balance estrogen therapy and protect the uterine lining (endometrium) in women receiving estrogen, and to support sleep, mood and calm.

What is progesterone?

Progesterone is the body-identical progestogen produced mainly by the ovaries after ovulation. In BHRT it is used to oppose the proliferative effect of estrogen on the endometrium, reducing the risk of estrogen-driven overgrowth of the uterine lining. Unlike synthetic progestins, micronised progesterone matches the body's natural molecule and is often preferred for its calmer side-effect profile.

When are progesterone capsules chosen?

• To protect the endometrium in women taking systemic estrogen (essential if you still have a uterus)
• Sleep support — progesterone has calming, sleep-promoting (somnogenic) metabolites
• Mood, irritability and anxiety linked to progesterone decline
• Restless premenstrual and perimenopausal phases
• Adjunct support in some customised BHRT combinations

Why oral capsules?

Micronised progesterone capsules accept precise stepwise dosing in 10 mg steps — from a gentle 10 mg up to 250 mg — and are convenient, discreet and well tolerated. Taking progesterone at bedtime harnesses its natural sedating, sleep-promoting metabolites.

How to use

Take the prescribed dose once daily, typically at bedtime in or with food as directed. Swallow whole; do not open or chew softgels or crush capsules unless advised. Always attend follow-up reviews and blood work.
