Unless you can concentrate the progesterone (Pg) in these plants via extraction and other methods the present BHRT programs and Pg sources will likely not be greatly affected. They had to used very extreme and most sensitive methods (NMR & mass spec) to identify most likely very tiny amounts of Pg.

I take progesterone as part of my bioidentical hormone replacement. I wonder what this discovery will do for the BHRT movement?
