At age 43 I was diagnosed as being in full menopause. At such a young age, after consulting with three separate physicians, it was recommended that I need to be on hormone replacement therapy. After much research and again meeting with various physicians, it was determined the best option for me and the healthiest option was compounded hormones. Since being administered cBHT, my life has improved, especially at my young age. Hormone imbalance is real, and it effects everyone differently. Compounded hormones are safe, effective and the care I receive because of the close monitoring is better than any care offered by physicians who administer big pharma drugs. It is important to allow patients to receive the best care and medicine as prescribed by physicians and compounding pharmacies. It is safe, and effective.
