Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5

Progesterone is scientifically validated as a key hormone in supporting the female reproductive system. Its primary physiological roles include regulation of the menstrual cycle, preparation of the endometrium for implantation, and maintenance of pregnancy. Progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum in the ovary after ovulation and later by the placenta during pregnancy. Deficiencies or imbalances in progesterone levels are associated with menstrual irregularities, infertility, and recurrent pregnancy loss. Its clinical use is well established: progesterone supplementation is routinely prescribed in assisted reproductive technologies (such as IVF) to support luteal phase and early pregnancy. It is also used in hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms and for the management of certain gynecological disorders, such as amenorrhea or abnormal uterine bleeding. Numerous randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews confirm its efficacy for these indications, and its mechanisms of action are well understood at the molecular and cellular levels. Thus, the use of progesterone to support the female reproductive system is grounded in robust scientific evidence and is a cornerstone of both reproductive endocrinology and clinical gynecology.
