That's right. I have in another thread presented a paper which describes the difference between Wild Yam and Progesterone (https://www.breastnexum.com/showthread.php?tid=31616&pid=231514#pid231514). Briefly described, Wild Yam can't be converted in body to Progesterone. However, it contains Diosgenin. And Diosgenin can be converted in a laboratory to Progesterone. Therefore the product label MUST say it contains bio-identical Progesterone. (If the base material is Wild Yam or Soy or whatever else containing Diosgenin, isn't important.)
