Intro to Dosing Molecular Progesterone Complex
Progesterone can help to…
• Re-Balance thyroid-suppressive hormones (like estrogen & cortisol)
• Re-Activate the thyroid gland by activating the essential enzymes needed to release thyroid hormone
• Re-Activate the liver by suppressing the stress hormones that block the liver from being able to convert thyroid hormone (from T4 into T3)
• Restore thyroid function & healthy metabolism by combating Estrogen Dominance
Plus, you’ll start feeling some immediate benefits such as...
Protect Against Hot Flashes
Promote Deeper Sleep
Protect Against Stress & Anxiety
Support Healthy Joints
Support Normalized Water Retention
Protect Against Autoimmune Thyroid Dysfunction & Estrogen
Dosing
It's important to understand that the dosing often depends on what you're using it for.
For instance, if you are struggling with autoimmune thyroid dysfunction, we often recommend using a relatively high dose of Molecular Progesterone Complex.
If you’re suffering from hot flashes or other menopausal symptoms, then we often need to start with a much higher dose of progesterone to compensate for the sudden drop in estrogen that can potentially unmask or worsen one’s hot flashes. The dosage is always key.
Nine times out of ten, when our clients & customers tell us they aren’t feeling a difference, it’s the result of improper dosing. If this happens to you, make sure you are following the dosing instructions and increasing the amount if necessary until you feel relief.
Special Note
The Molecular Progesterone Complex is a thick solution due to the high Vitamin E content, which acts as a carrier to deliver the progesterone directly into the bloodstream. This is what allows for the superior absorption of the progesterone compared to alternative products.
Dropper Instructions
Before removing the dropper, squeeze the dropper bulb to pull some of the oil inside the dropper. When removing the dropper, hold it over the bottle for 15 to 20 seconds to allow the excess oil to run off the dropper and back into the bottle. Then dispense the required number of drops. When finished, empty dropper contents back into the bottle and secure the top.
For Hot Flashes & Women’s Health
To help provide relief from menopausal imbalances & symptoms, we use Molecular Progesterone Complex to help us accomplish the following:
Re-Balance thyroid-suppressive hormones (like cortisol & estrogen)
Re-Activate the liver so it can start detoxifying excess estrogen
Restore progesterone levels to alleviate hot flashes
Restore thyroid function & healthy metabolism by combating Estrogen Dominance
Follow the recommended dosing instructions below to start feeling the difference:
Hot Flash Dosing:
Peri-Menopausal, Menopausal & Post-Menopausal
5 DROPS 5x DAILY
CYCLE OFF: Start with 5 drops 5x per day and increase as needed until hot flashes resolve. Should be cycled 3
weeks on, then 1 week off. If hot flashes return during week off, then reduce progesterone break to a
minimum of 3 days.
Considerations
It’s important to note that successfully dosing progesterone involves simply raising progesterone levels to an adequate level. The starting dosage weoften recommend for hot flashes and menopausal symptoms is generally 75 mg.
Considering that studies done with more severe menopausal symptoms, doses of 300 mg were often needed to achieve relief, increasing the dosage from these starting points should not be a concern. With the high absorption rate and bioavailability of Molecular Progesterone Complex, doses this high are not often required. However, doubling, tripling, or more the starting dosing is sometimes warranted to achieve relief.
Synergistic Support: Collagen Protein Powder
Depending on the severity of your menopausal symptoms, other supplements might be necessary to both assist and improve the effectiveness of the Molecular Progesterone Complex.
For instance, the combination of Collagen Protein Powder and Molecular Progesterone Complex can help you achieve quicker results, while furtherimproving your thyroid health.
The Collagen Protein Powder works by helping to re-balance excess thyroid-suppressive amino acids that can prevent your thyroid gland from producing thyroid hormone. It also works to lower cortisol and endotoxin that inhibit your liver’s conversion of thyroid hormone.
In other words, Collagen Protein Powder helps us address step 1 (unblock your thyroid gland) of the Thyroid Hormone Pathway, while also working to address step 3 (unblock the liver), and step 5 (unblock your metabolism).
Meanwhile, Molecular Progesterone Complex is helping us address step 1 (unblock your thyroid gland) by deactivating the stress hormones (cortisol & estrogen) that are damaging your thymus gland (which helps stimulate your thyroid gland), while also working to address step 2 (unblock the liver), and step 5 (unblock your metabolism).
Then, by adding our Advanced Vitamin K2 Thyroid Support or Vitamin ADK Thyroid Formula, we are able to further improve thyroid health.
Men’s Health
Like women, men produce both estrogen and progesterone as well, just in smaller amounts. With that being said, men often suffer from Estrogen Dominance much the same as women and it’s becoming more common in men over time. In fact, it’s becoming increasingly more common for men to develop breast tissue and even breast cancer.
Yet, there are other male health conditions that can also benefit from progesterone use, too. So, we often recommend progesterone supplementation to men as well.
Before we jump into the more specific dosing we use, if progesterone is borderline low with men, we typically first recommend using pregnenolone, which can be found in our Micronized Pregnenolone Powder.
Pregnenolone is actually the precursor to progesterone, and consequently it does get converted into small amounts of both progesterone and DHEA. So, while it doesn’t provide adequate progesterone for women, it can sometimes provide enough for men.
Yet, in many cases, we also use progesterone with men for simple stress relief...
In cases of more serious Estrogen Dominance, we can also see more serious effects including:
• Low Libido
• Hair Loss
• Weight Gain
• Fatigue
• Ongoing Mood Issues
• Gynecomastia (Male Breast Tissue)
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Impotence
• Bone Loss
• Muscle Loss
In these cases a higher dosage is often required.
Men’s Health Dosing
General Stress Relief:
1-2 DROPS 1x DAILY
CYCLE OFF: Start with 1 to 2 drops daily for 1 to 2 months followed by a few weeks break. Then repeat.
Male Estrogen Dominance:
3-10 DROPS 1x DAILY
CYCLE OFF: Start with 3 to 10 drops daily for 1 to 2 months followed by a few weeks break. Then repeat.
While we generally see an increase in testosterone when using these doses of progesterone, it’s rare but possible that it can lead to a decrease in testosterone levels.
We recommend keeping an eye on libido and if there is a noticeable decrease, then supplementing 5 mg to 10 mg of DHEA is typically sufficient to address this for most men.
