Bio-identical hormone replacement

Hormones are made to serve as messengers to cells so that the cells may function properly. Around age 20 many hormones reach their peak levels and gradually decline afterwards. Many people experience hormonal imbalance around age 35 especially around age 45. Some popular synthetic hormones may have severe long-term side-effects as studies have shown. In the last several years, bio-identical or natural hormones have gain traction in hormone therapy. Natural hormones have no or minimal side-effects if used appropriately. Synthetic hormones are usually dispensed from standard pharmacies. Natural hormones are usually made in compounding pharmacies. If you're on any hormone replacement therapy, make sure to ask your doctor you're using natural hormones. Sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen and progesterone), thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), insulin, cortisol, growth hormone, etc. are known to be beneficial when balanced.
