I went through several prescribed pharmaceutical HRT drugs that did not help me. I struggled with them for a couple of years. I decided to try a compounded formula and everything fell into place and my body is in balance with great results. I don't like to take prescription drugs due to sometimes long list of side effects. I prefer to take homeopathic over anything else. I take homeopathic for other health issues to avoid harmful side effects. Please don't take our right away to use these methods.
