Progesterone and Thyroid @ allonhealth.com (01/09)
- Low progesterone is often misdiagnosed as thyroid deficiency.
- Too little thyroid production may cause increased prolactin levels and persistent estrogen
stimulation.
- Estrogen inhibits the release of thyroid hormone from the gland, whereas an adequate amount
of thyroid hormone raises natural progesterone production and lowers estrogen.
- Thyroid and progesterone can complement each other.
- Patients taking progesterone can reduce/discontinue thyroid supplementation.
- Estrogen dominance interferes with, or inhibits, thyroid hormone activity.
- Progesterone facilitates thyroid hormone activity.
- Estrogen instructs the body to store calorie intake as fat tissue, whereas thyroid increases
the body's ability to metabolize fat for energy.
- Both progesterone and thyroid promote energy production and raise body temperature.
- Even small amounts of radiation can permanently destroy the thyroid gland.

Progesterone @ tidesoflife.com (01/09)
- When progesterone is deficient, there tends to be hypoglycemia, often combined with obesity.
- Progesterone prevents stress-induced coronary blood vessel spasms in aged hearts.
- Progesterone has a role in regeneration of damaged brain cells and prolonged growth of the brain.
- Many types of tumors have been prevented and helped with progesterone.
- Since progesterone normalizes the immune system (it causes thymus regeneration), it is very
effective in autoimmune diseases, and in those degenerative disease which have an autoimmune
component.
- Both progesterone and thyroid hormone can be considered primary regulatory hormones.
- Both regulate metabolism directly, and have a normalizing action on the pituitary gland.
- Estrogen diminishes liver glycogen storage, while progesterone increases both blood sugar
and liver glycogen.
- Estrogen is a promoter of insulin release and action, lowering blood sugar and promoting fat
synthesis.
- Anesthesia (or drunkenness) from a very large progesterone overdose is the only negative side
effective reported in the literature.
- Low levels of progesterone are related to migraines and epilepsy

Role of Progesterone in Menopause @ holisticonline.com (01/09)
- During menopause, women produce 40-60% of their estrogen, but progesterone production often
drops lower than men after menopause.
- The ratio between estrogen and progesterone is critical for homeostasis.
- Menopausal symptions and heart disease may be due to the relative excess of estrogen over
progesterone.
- Natural Progesterone has no known side effects. It has been helpful in alleviating hot flashes.
- Progesterone deficiency is marked by breast tenderness, decreased sex drive, depression, bloating,
weight gain, headaches, and foggy thinking.
- The best treatment is a low-dose natural progesterone cream for the last two weeks of the cycle.
The progesterone is absorbed in the subcutaneous fat, and then released into the bloodstream.
-
Hormone Imbalance @ safemenopausesolutions.com (01/09)
- Once ovulation ceases at menopause, progesterone levels fall to virtually zero. At the same time,
estrogen is still being produced, leading to hormone imbalance and the resulting symptoms.
- Progesterone is the hormone that helps the thyroid have normal activity

- One study found that T2 exerts 1/13 of the effect of T3 on TSH levels
- Another study found that 100 times more T2 than T3 was required to exert the same degree of TSH inhibition
- Even when using 400 times more T2 than T3, the TSH inhibition effects were approximately equal
- 3,5 T2 is about 70-80% as suppressive as T3; 3,3 T2 shows minimal thyroid suppression, if any
-
3,5'-T2 is more active than 3,3-T2
