Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy means the chemical make-up of a particular replacement hormone is exactly the same as what the human body produces. The ideal natural substances for hormone replacement therapy are readily available. Unfortunately, many doctors are unaware of these bio-identical hormones.

Since natural or bio-identical hormones cannot be patented, manufacturers lack financial incentive to fund research and development costs to commercially market these substances, and physicians receive little information on natural progesterone, estriol, estradiol, estrone, and testosterone. Women are no longer willing to accept the risks associated with synthetic hormones and are searching for alternatives. New research is continually emerging. The Womens Health Initiative is an excellent resource for questions about hormones. It can be viewed at the Womens Health Initiative (WHI) website.

An estimated two million people are now benefiting from natural plant-derived bio-identical estrogens, progesterone and testosterones. Various dosage forms can be compounded to meet the specific needs of each person.

Andropause.

Andropause, is the male equivalent of menopause. Potency and vitality should be lifelong! Some men actually go through a sudden change in testosterone levels. These correlate to the hormonal changes experienced by women during menopause. Most men however, have a more subtle hormonal decline. On the average, a man’s testosterone levels begin to decline at a rate of about 1% per year after age 40. Blood tests and a thorough medical history by your physician are necessary to diagnose andropause.

Andropause has a wide variety of symptoms:
 Reduced libido
 Depression and Anxiety
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Heart Disease
Osteoporosis
Atherosclerosis
