Progesterone Capsules
Rock Ridge Pharmacy offers custom-compounded Progesterone Capsules to support hormone balance, reproductive health, and menopause symptom management.
What Are Compounded Progesterone Capsules?
Progesterone Capsules are customized oral formulations designed to restore hormonal balance, especially in women experiencing menopause, irregular cycles, or fertility challenges.
These capsules contain micronized progesterone for effective absorption, often taken at bedtime due to its natural calming effect.
At Rock Ridge Pharmacy, each capsule is compounded in our USP <795>/<800> compliant lab, ensuring precision, safety, and quality tailored to your provider’s prescription.

Mood Enhancement
Calms the nervous system and promotes mood stability.
Bone Health Support

Pregnancy Support
Vital for sustaining pregnancy and often prescribed in fertility treatments.
Supplements to Support Progesterone Therapy
Alongside Progesterone therapy, select supplements can support hormone metabolism, reduce stress, and promote balance. Always consult your provider or pharmacist before starting new supplements.
- Magnesium – supports hormone metabolism and relaxation
- Vitamin B6 – helps reduce PMS and mood symptoms
- Zinc – aids reproductive health and hormone production
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids – support mood stability and inflammation balance
- Chaste Tree (Vitex) – traditionally used to regulate cycles and support progesterone
These supplements complement progesterone therapy but are not substitutes for prescribed treatment. Speak with your Rock Ridge pharmacist about safe combinations.
