I get Utrogestan free on prescription in my country and the Seidigestan or similar is only about 6 euro for a box of 30x100mg. I find it very effective.@Ena super

@happycat It's super expensive here w/o prescription. Abpout 47 euros for a big box. Theoretically it should be worth it since the amount is so much higher than Progest-E but it's a lot less effective. Maybe I should add a lot of vitamin E.

@Ena said in Seidigestan / Utrogestan. OTC Progesterone contains Titanium Dioxide:
how do you know that pure, unmixed micronised progesterone isn't white?
IDK by looking at Progest-E? It's not opaque at all... especially not white... so simple....
-
@Ena Sugar is also white.... but when you dissolve it in water, the solution isn't white is it.... the same thing applies to progesterone.
-
@sushi_is_cringe @CO3 IdeaLabs has a really good success rate with delivering their products - their progesterone product is a white 15ml bottle, and it gets through customs and air port security every time; even when there is 6 different bottles in the package / carry on luggage.

The progesterone in Seidigestan/Utrogestan isn't chalky white but still white. Whiter that sugar dissolved in water.
I have deduced from other comments that Progest-E contains vitamin E, so it is not pure progesterone. The fact that Progest-E has a colour cannot be used to guess the colour of pure progesterone. For example, my own vitamin E powder is very yellow.
Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to travel to the US and buy Progest-E.
But I do have the opportunity to write to the Utrogestan supplier and ask. It's too bad they don't clearly describe whether the additives are in the capsule or in the contents.
-
@Ena I have made Progest E before, and the colour of the vitamin E doesn't change when you dissolve the white progesterone inside it.
-
@alfredoolivas Sounds absolutely logical.
The reason I mention colours at all is because @CO3 keeps using the colour difference between Utrogestan and Progest-E as proof that Utrogestan contains titanium.
And I don't think that's proof. Maybe true, but not proof.
Not a big deal, but @CO3 has asked us to use our brains, and then mine started warming up. Sorry about that

I agree with the previous posters who said the white content is not titanium dioxide, but the micellarized, "micronized" phospholipids and sunflower oil. Think of the white color as tiny micrometer-sized fatty droplets.
Which is disgusting enough on its own, yes, and tastes unpleasant. But it's a small amount and best to be taken with some proper saturated fat so that a balanced ratio makes it more alright.
Progest-E is not dissolved in phospholipids. -
I have the label right in front of me. it does not mention anything about the titanium being in the capsule. It's quite literally a whitening agent in tons of products, and none of the other ingredients are whitening agents.
What's with this unstoppable desire to cope so blatantly?
