what hormone is in bioidenticals
In a fascinating study, scientists administered estrogen alone, bioidentical progesterone alone, estrogen plus bioidentical progesterone, or placebo to 40 women prior to surgery to remove a breast lump. The hormones were applied topically to the breast for about 12 days before surgery.
Natural or bioidentical hormones are hormones made from a natural substance and are bio-chemically identical to human hormones (called bioidentical hormone therapy or BHRT) and then compounded by a pharmacist as a customized dose and in a customized preparation.
