What is Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Natural hormone replacement therapy (HRT) means that the chemical makeup of the replacement hormone is exactly the same as what the human body produces. The ideal natural substances for hormone replacement therapy  are readily available. Bio-identical plant derived estrogen and progesterone products have been safely prescribed by European physicians for over 50 years. These natural hormones are almost entirely without the side effects of the synthetic or semi-synthetic HRT drugs which do not allow a person to produce the full range of other hormones which are needed for the body to function at full potential.

Women are no longer willing to accept the risks associated with synthetic hormones, and are searching for safer alternatives. New research is continually emerging. An estimated two million women are now benefiting from natural "plant-derived bio-identical" estrogens and progesterone.

Various dosage forms can be compounded to meet the specific needs of each woman. Options include:

Transdermal or transmucosal dosage forms such as gels, troches or suppositories. Non-oral absorption avoids first pass liver metabolism, providing a more reliable extent of absorption which is independent of liver function.
Capsules containing micronized particles for enhanced oral absorption.
Many unique formulations to meet each woman's specific needs.
