I take 100mg progesterone per day orally. What would be the equivalent with this oil?Updated 2 months ago

Thanks for your question! While I can’t provide medical advice or suggest direct substitutions for prescribed medications, I can share some general information for context. 

When taken orally, about 100 mg of progesterone is typically metabolized down to roughly 25 mg after going through the digestive system and liver. Our progesterone oil contains 40 mg of progesterone per 5 drops. We generally recommend 5–10 drops of the oil per use. 

If you’re considering adjusting or replacing your current prescription, I’d encourage you to check in with your healthcare provider to determine what’s best for your individual needs.
