    Topical Progesterone And Hair Growth - Why Does It Work?

    I have been seeing more and more cases of people using a combination of minoxidil/progesterone/tretinoin to combat hair loss. And it seems to work. The main reason is because of the progesterone. However after consulting with a pharmacist who gives this to patients (with doctors prescription of...

    Lack Of Progesterone And Too Much Estrogen Make Us Fat

    If this is in the popular press, then it must be true, right? Joking aside, I am glad that at least the idea of too much estrogen causing obesity is out there and supplemental progesterone for men is not condemned as sacrilege. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic ... pread.html "...But...

    How Pregnenolone And Progesterone Raise Metabolism

    I know pregnenolone/progesterone work via multiple mechanisms such as inhibiting serotonin, opposing estrogen, lowering FFA, etc. However, this method caught my eye and I thought I'd share it since many people here have trouble converting T4 into T3. As you all know both pregnenolone and...

    Progest-E Shelf Life ?

    I have been using the protest E oil for about 4.5 months now and in the last week i have been not feeling so good. I have been doing very well using 2 drops of the oil per day, along with my T4 meds. I am now back to feeling a little under the weather, ok, but not 100%. I have tried upping...

    Progesterone Lowers SHBG

    This is a first in my research of experience of endocrine hormones. High SHBG may limit the expression of testosterone and dht. Drugs like Danazol and Winstrol can dramatically lower it, but the body usually responds by lowering T production - so a goal of increasing T by this mono therapy is...

    Progesterone To Estradiol Ratio (P:E2)

    I've spent the morning searching the forum and Ray Peat's articles for what is a good P:E2 ratio. I've seen many references to it in Peat's writings, and he seems to think it's important. But is there a range for what is considered optimum? (According to Peat, of course :) ). For saliva...

    Transdermal Progesterone Reverses Osteoporosis

    I posted this study in the Progestene thread, but I thought that in light of its spectacular claims/results it deserved a separate thread. The dose of progesterone used was not high at all - 7mg twice daily for a total of 14mg daily. However, the study period was quite long (6 years) so it might...

    Progestene - Liquid Progesterone (bioidentical)

    Given the number of progesterone supplements on the market and the familiarity of most people with Progest-E, I am not going to post a big list of studies on this one. I think Peat has done a very exhaustive job of collecting the proper scientific references on progesterone, so I will defer to...

    Natural Progesterone IUD?

    Hey everyone - I was wondering if any of you know of an IUD that contains natural progesterone. All of the IUDs I've seen use progestins of questionable safety, and I would love to help some friends of mine get on safer forms of birth control. A natural progesterone IUD seems to fit the bill...

    Progesterone finally recognized as key to curing breast cancer

    Can Progesterone Cause PMS Symptoms?

    Can Progesterone Increase Cortisol? Does It Lower It?

    1. Does any of you know if the body can covert progesterone from progesterone cream or Progest-e to cortisol? Can cortisol level increase with excess progesterone from Progest-e? 2. Or can the body covert supplemental pregnenelone to cortisol or estrogen? Thanks

    Any Interactions With Paraguard And Progest E?

    My girlfriend is curious. I read paraguard lowers progesterone as one mechanism? So would progest e neutralize its effectiveness?

    Progesterone Loosens Ligaments?

    Has anyone felt soreness in ligaments using progesterone? I heard estrogen and progesterone are linked. Progesterone rises during pregnancy to prepare the hips for birth. This can only be done by loosening of ligaments.

    Progesterone, Testosterone, Allopregnanolone Are Serotonin Antagonists

    This study shows that some of the gonadal steroids act in a manner similar to the drug ondansetron - i.e. antagonize the 5-HT3 "receptor". While pregnenolone sulfate was not antagonistic to 5-HT3, taking pregnenolone metabolizes mostly into progesterone and allopregnanolone. So, it seems like a...

    Progest-E: Dosage, Drop Size

    Is there a chart somewhere or has anyone measured out Progest-e in terms of teaspoons? If I needed 100 mg of progesterone (33 drops), how much of a teaspoon would that be? How many drops or how much progesterone would be in 1/4 teaspoon?
