I started hormones years after menopause. My doctor told me that I was in the early stages of osteoporosis. I did some research and found that osteoporosis is common among women after menopause. I met with a hormone specialist and learned that good hormones levels are helpful for maintaining bone health. I couldn't take oral estrogen because I was too old. The compounded cream has helped me restore my levels safely and increase the health of my bones.
