Thanks, Lotus...

I guess I'm confused about where/how to get creams with USP Progesterone vs. the bio-identical, micronized version using yams?  I know I searched in past for capsules (100 or 200 mg) that were NOT made from yams, and never could find anything, and have read that the P made from Yams is bio-identical to human progesterone?

Thanks!

This is a good question because there's a few products I've seen around claiming different things.

This says "USP derived from Soy."

This one I have says "Progesterone Micronized USP from Wild Yams."

And this one just says "Micronized USP Progesterone"... and, oh, it's Smoky Mountain Naturals. Lotus, haven't you recommended this brand in the past?
Did some old searches. It seems to be. Is this what you'd recommend for a bio-identical progesterone cream?
They seem to have a second progesterone cream different from this clearly labelled as Wild Yams, so maybe this is what we're after.

From what I understand from searching and reading various things...

Most USP Progesterone started out as yams, and were processed to get the pure, bio-identical, micronized Progesterone out of them for use in other things.  However, there are some supplements that are using a component of yams, which evidently has some or is similar to USP Progesterone, just unprocessed, and those supplements are not nearly as strong as the ones containing USP Progesterone.  This is probably adding confusion as I think it all, or at least much of it, starts as yams--USP Progesterone is never going to be made from any human components.
