Is Progesterone Pescatarian?

Caution

Sometimes. This ingredient could be derived from animal sources but is not usually seen in food (more typically seen in medications, supplements, cosmetics and/or cleaning supplies).

Progesterone and the Pescatarian Diet

Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone that plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. While it can be synthesized in laboratories for use in medications, supplements, and certain cosmetics, it is not typically found in food products. Progesterone supplements can be derived from animal sources or synthesized from plant-based materials such as wild yam or soy. Its primary use is in medical treatments and hormonal therapies.
