Progesterone (Cat No.: A000250) is a natural steroid hormone crucial for regulating the menstrual cycle, maintaining pregnancy, and supporting embryogenesis. Produced mainly in the ovaries, placenta, and adrenal glands, it prepares the endometrium for implantation and prevents uterine contractions during pregnancy. In medicine, progesterone is used in hormone replacement therapy, contraception, and treatment of menstrual disorders. It also plays roles in neuroprotection and immune modulation. As a key progestogen, it balances estrogen activity and is essential for female reproductive health and fertility.
