Foods Containing Progesterone

Wild yams are full of natural progesterone. They can be eaten like potatoes and also found in topical creams.

Beef

Beef can have smaller levels of progesterone, but may increase human progesterone levels when it is eaten on a regular basis.

Eggs have higher levels of progesterone in the yolk of the egg.
