Progesterone: Personalized Hormonal Support for Women’s Health
What Is Progesterone?
Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone that plays a critical role in women’s reproductive health. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, prepares the body for pregnancy, and supports early gestation. In hormone replacement therapy (HRT), especially during perimenopause or menopause, progesterone is often used alongside estrogen to balance hormone levels, reduce symptoms, and protect the uterus.
Synthetic progestins are commonly found in commercial medications, but many patients prefer bioidentical progesterone—compounded to match the body’s natural form—for better tolerability and targeted relief.

At King’s Pharmacy and Compounding Center, we specialize in custom-formulated Progesterone therapies. These may include oral capsules, topical creams, vaginal suppositories, or sublingual drops—each tailored to the patient’s individual hormone levels, lifestyle, and provider instructions.
Benefits of compounded progesterone include:
- Bioidentical formulation for better hormone compatibility
- Adjustable dosing to minimize side effects

- Combination therapies with estrogen or testosterone as needed
