Taking compounded bio-identical hormone replacement therapy has improved my health and well-being. My moods are more even, my sleep more regular, and my sex life more enjoyable, not to mention the added benefits to my bones and heart, my increased energy level, and greater elasticity of my skin.
I appreciate that I can have a blood test, and the hormone levels can be adjusted for me personally; the compounded formula has been "tweaked" twice in the last 2 years to accommodate my body's personal hormone levels. I would never want to take a one-size-fits-all prescription pill made of another animal's urine that doesn't account for my personal biology and came with numerous known side effects. We are not all the same!
Please continue to allow us personal choice, directed by my physician, to determine which bio-identical hormones are right for ME, and continue to allow compounding pharmacies to make our personal formulas.
