carlaa,
are you completely dense?! I said synthesizing progesterone was a multistep process that DOES NOT happen in the body. 6 enzymes is a multistep process. That IS 100% true. The body does not have the right enzymes to make this multistep conversion. That IS 100% true. Don't believe me? Read it for yourself:

I never said it wasn't easy to synthesize now--just look at the huge number of bioidentical progesterone products on he market. But, it was a struggle to commercially produce and market bioidentical progesterone as versus biosimilar progestins that big pharma could patent from which they would make huge profits.
The fact remains, ingesting wild yam, soy or other diosgenin (the precursor from which bioidentical progesterone is synthesized) containing plants HAS NO PROGESTERONE EFFECT. Consuming them does have an effect, but it's not because it contains progesterone (it doesn't) and it's not because the body can make progesterone from it (it can't.)
What exactly is your point since you are so wrong in your rude comment?
