I had very serious menopausal symptoms that were affecting my quality of life. I couldn't sleep or think, and had many sleepless (and sexless) nights, the hot flashes were very intense. My doctor suggested compound hormone replacement because it is made up especially for my body and personalized with each dose. We had to tweak it a few times to get it right, but once the formula was correct, I saw tremendous improvements in my life and body. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I prefer it because it is a more natural way to address my symptoms and is made especially for me. My quality of life (and my husbands and those around me!) would be greatly diminished if I did not have them.
