Progesterone and the Pescatarian Diet

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.
