BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES
Are bioidentical hormones safer and more effective than traditional hormone therapy for menopause symptoms?
According to Dr. Mary Gallenberg, an Obstetrician-Gynecologist with the Mayo Clinic, the Answer may be a qualified NO.
Dr. Gallenberg notes that according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and several medical specialty groups, bioidentical hormones may be riskier than standard hormone therapy, and there's no evidence they're any more effective.
Bioidentical hormones have become popular in recent years, partly because of celebrity endorsements and partly in reaction to reports of increased health risks with standard hormone therapy. The term "bioidentical" means the hormones in the product are chemically identical to those your body produces. In fact, they are — but so are the hormones used in many FDA-approved hormone replacement products.
