Does Progesterone Affect Your Thyroid?

If a person has an enlarged thyroid gland, progesterone encourages secretion and unloading of the stored colloid and can bring on a temporary hyperthyroid state which is a corrective process.  A thyroid supplement (Electrical Body recommends Detoxadine) may be used to shrink the goiter before progesterone is given.

Normal amounts of progesterone promote thyroid secretion, while a deficiency, especially when too much estrogen is present, causes the thyroid to enlarge.  Some mention euphoria as a “side-effect” of progesterone usage, but euphoria is simply an indication of good physiological state.  To avoid unexpected anesthesia, the correct dose should be determined by taking about 10 mg (3-4 drops) at a time, allowing it to spread into the membranes of the mouth, and repeating the dose after 10 minutes until the symptoms are controlled.
