 Natural Progesterone is available over-the-counter (OTC) from most health food stores and mail order supplement companies in the USA (but not in other countries) in the form of a topical cream.  Most health food store brands of natural Progesterone cream contain a total of 25 mg of Progesterone per ¼ teaspoon.  Natural Progesterone creams are usually sold in the form of 2 ounce (56.7 gram) jars/tubes that contain a total of 800 mg to 1,000 mg of Natural Progesterone (i.e. 400 - 500 mg per ounce).

 For people who require a higher level of natural Progesterone than 25 mg per ¼ teaspoon, are able to prepare higher potency natural Progesterone creams.
