Hormones throughout the body are in constant balance with one another to maintain a healthy, happy person. When any of these hormones are out of balance chaos strikes.
Hormone balance is essential for healthy bodily function. Remember you cannot survive without hormones. Hormone deficiency and/or imbalance has been linked to serious diseases including: cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis, premature aging, depression, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's disease and much more.

Bio-identical hormones are typically derived from natural sources such as plants. Synthetic or conventional hormones used for HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) are usually produced from a number of sources. For example some synthetic estrogens are made from pregnant mares urine that is collected then processed through a number of chemical reactions. Does it innately make sense to you that these synthetic hormones would be as effective as bio-identical hormones that duplicate your own?
