WHAT ARE BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES?
Bioidentical hormones replace or mimic the missing hormones in your body. According to Harvard Medical School, hormone therapy is an effective way to treat low hormone levels.
Using bioidentical hormones became controversial in 2002. A landmark study by the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) indicated that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy might increase breast cancer, blood clots and heart disease. Later these findings were shown to have been misleading and convoluted for publicity. Natural hormone therapy uses hormones derived from yams and other natural sources. When applied, your body can't tell the difference between the ones produced in the body and bioidentical ones.
Hormone Levels naturally decrease as men and women age, but bioidentical hormones help you look and feel younger. Hormone therapy with estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and testosterone cream may make you feel years younger. Speak to your doctor about the benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy.
