Are Bio identical Hormones Different from Synthetic Drugs?

 

Bio identical hormones are very different from the synthetic drugs. The term bio identical hormone means that the hormone is exactly the same as what the body naturally makes. The body will treat a bio identical hormone as if the body produced it naturally. When used in dosages similar to the body's normal production, bio identical hormone replacement therapy can provide health benefits without the side effects associated with non-natural or synthetic drugs. Synthetic hormones are not natural to the body - they are different from natural hormones so they can be patented and marketed by the drug companies.

 

Recent research suggests that menopause can be treated with bio identical hormone, as a natural replacement for a woman's body, with no reported side effects.

In the past, menopause has been treated with Hormone Replacement Therapy or HRT (including Premarin, which is made from pregnant mare’s urine, Prempro and Provera), which meant ingesting synthetic chemicals on a regular basis. Now we know that these drugs are causing the very problems we’re trying to avoid including breast cancer and heart attacks.
