PM is ineffective in comparison to bioidentical hormones. The stuff in birth control pills is not progesterone, those are progestins which mimic progesterone's effect to some degree which might or might not be useful. I don't know which exact part is doing how much of it. But something is obviously working then.

Most progestins also have anti-DHT effects, even in the low doses of birth control pills.

Do you know if topical use of red maca would be effective? It has some progestin-like effects.
