Hormone Replacement Therapy is safe, sensible, effective and free from side efects caused by synthetic hormones.  Natural Hormones are customized for each inidvidual.

Natural Hormone Therapy has many potential benefits:


Natural when a hormone is called natural, that means that it is identical to the hormones the human body normally produces. To simplify: Natural Replacement Synthetic Substitute.  Natural include estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, testosterone and dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA). Natural hormones are derived from wild yams and are converted by chemists to hormones which are identical (bio-identical) in every way to those made by the human body. These naturally occurring substances cannot be patented and therefore are not produced by drug manufacturers.  Only a compounding pharmacy can make natural hormones.

Patented hormones like Premarin™, Prempro™, Provera™ and Estratab™ are not bio-identical to human hormones. They are chemical substitutes because they have been altered in order to make them patentable. Premarin™ is from a natural source (pregnant mares' urine) but it contains hormones found only in horses and is therefore not natural to the human body.

The goal of natural hormone therapy is to alleviate the symptoms caused by the decrease in hormone production and bring the body back to hormonal balance. Another goal of natural hormone therapy is to imitate the body's natural processes as much as possible, thereby eliminating the unwanted effects and long term risks of the traditional synthetic hormone replacement therapies.
