Progest E Replenishing Oil Complex from Kenogen is natural bioidentical progesterone derived from wild yam in vitamin E oil.

NOTE: Some businesses have misleadingly used my name and parts of my
research to imply that I support their products. The only formulation of
progesterone that I approve is progesterone dissolved in vitamin E, and I
hold the patent on that. It is useful when applied to the skin, but oral use is
more economical. As this book explains, other solvents and additives can be
harmful. Almond oil, avocado oil, safflower oil, etc., sensitize the skin to the
aging effects of the sun, and are inappropriate for use on the skin or
internally. Diosgenin, sometimes called wild yam extract, is toxic.

:eh: ?

Progesterone can be manufactured from diosgenin that is found in wild yams. Peat is saying diosgenin is toxic. The body cannot convert diosgenin to progesterone - it requires lab conditions.
Progesterone is a necessary and supportive chemical in appropriate doses.
Don't use products that contain unmodified wild yam/diosgenin.

Bioidentical progesterone is always made from wild yam (used to be made from the corpus luteum of animals, but that is not economically viable). Diosgenin (from the yam) is chemically synthesized into a molecular structure identical to natural progesterone. This conversion can be done in a lab, but our bodies cannot make the conversion. Consuming wild yam is not the same as using bioidentical progesterone synthesized from wild yam (ie Progest-E). So no, Progest E is not toxic!
