I choose bio identical hormones years ago when I started into menopause. At that time my choice was PREMARIN (Pregnant Mare Urine) or bio identical HRT.
Once I was aware of the process of collecting and manufacturing PREMARIN, I knew I’d never use some that put catheterized mares into stocks 24/7 and then forced them to have a foal that was immediately removed, and usually killed.
Bio identical HRT (BIHRT) has been easily compounded and made available locally. The dosage of the different hormones can be changed after hormone monitoring so that dosages can be accurately maintained.
Dosages are lower amounts and much less likely to cause issues.
Don’t take BIHRT away as a proven and legitimate way of maintaining the comfort and emotional life of aging women.
