I started taking the compounded hormone when I entered menopause to lesson the effect of menopause. That would have been in my 50's. Also, to benefit my overall health. I am now in my 70's and can definitely tell a difference if I should miss a few dosages.
I think compounded is safer and better as it is compounded for my individual needs. I will not take a "one size fits all" dosage. Why would the FDA even consider restrictions cBHRT?
