| BioIdentical Hormone Therapy |
|
Aging is a natural process controlled by our endocrine and immune systems. As these systems decline in function so do we. Research has shown that maintaining our hormone levels and boosting our immune system naturally can prevent the debility and illness that accompany the aging process. Bio-Identical hormones are biologically identical in chemical structure to our body's hormones. They are typically derived from plants and compounded at special compounding pharmacies. Synthetic hormones are made by pharmaceutical companies and are not chemically identical to our body's hormones. For this reason they can have substantially different effects even harmful as the literature has shown. |
