Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy means the chemical make-up of a particular replacement hormone is exactly the same as what the human body produces. The ideal natural substances for hormone replacement therapy are readily available. Unfortunately, many doctors are unaware of these bio-identical hormones. Since natural or bio-identical hormones cannot be patented, manufacturers lack financial incentive to fund research and development costs to commercially market these substances, and physicians receive little information on natural progesterone, estriol, estradiol and testosterone. Women and men are searching for alternatives to synthetic hormones. New research is continually emerging. The Womens Health Initiative is an excellent resource for questions about hormones. You can find out more on their website . Another excellent resource is the Center for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research.

Andropause is the male equivalent of menopause. Potency and vitality should be lifelong! All men experience a gradual reduction in testosterone levels. These correlate to the hormonal changes often experienced by women during menopause. On the average, a man's testosterone levels begin to decline at a rate of about 1% per year after age 40. Blood tests and a thorough medical history by your physician are necessary to diagnose andropause, which has a wide variety of symptoms:
Reduced Libido
Depression and Anxiety
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Reduced Energy Levels
Testosterone is the therapeutic agent used for the management of andropause. For the latest medical information please contact one of our Pharmacists.
