I'm 68 years old. Taking bioidentical hormones specifically formulated for me based on saliva test results has GREATLY increased the quality of life and my health. My skin (looking at it--youthful) and bones (confirmed by bone density test) are physically younger than others my age. Also, I do not suffer from vaginal atrophy or dryness. Since Pharma doesn't have a Viagra for females, compounded HRT is our only salvation!
