How Susten 8% Gel Works
Susten 8% Gel contains progesterone, a natural hormone that is essential for preparing and maintaining the pregnancy. It works by helping to establish and maintain the uterine lining, making it suitable for implantation. It also helps prevent the over-thickening of the uterine lining caused by estrogen, reducing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia. By balancing hormonal levels, Susten 8% Gel helps regulate menstrual cycles and supports pregnancy in women undergoing fertility treatments.
