it seems a bit unfair (menopause/hormone insomnia)

If it says that on the label, you got the right thing, bioidentical progesterone. It really helps with sleep issues; I've been using it since 2000. I spread my full 21 mgms on before bed (I'm post-menopausal so it's 3 wks on & 1 wk off for me) and miss it that wk I skip. Took about a cycle for me to see a lot of the bennies.

PS It helps with the cellular damage from our nightly oxygen-starvation episodes too!
