What makes a hormone “bioidentical?”  It’s very simple, actually — a bioidentical hormone is an exact replica of what the body makes.

Are there other kinds of hormones?  Absolutely!  Most hormone replacement products available on the market today are synthetic, not natural at all.  While these hormone molecules may be similar — more or less – to those  naturally produced by the body, they aren’t the same.  They look different.  They act different.  They ARE different.

What’s the big deal?  Why the fuss?  Here’s the bottom line:  Bioidentical hormones are safe.  They protect.  They promote health and wellness.  The same can simply not be said of synthetics. While synthetic hormones have been linked with increased risk of cancer, heart disease (and more), this is NOT TRUE of their bioidentical counterparts.  In fact, numerous studies have shown – for a long, long time – that bioidentical hormones actually protect us from the very disease states linked to their synthetic cousins.

Know what you need?  Know what you’re taking?
