“Got my life back!”

I am 70 years of age and have been using compounded hormones for seven years. This has lifted my mild depression, increased agility, and ability to keep excess weight off are the top health benefits I have achieved in addition to all the other adjunctive benefits I receive. I had tried FDA-approved hormone therapy and my body could not tolerate it, I had bloating, an inability to keep weight off, and was mainly just tired all the time.
As I move through my senior years I would most definitely say these compounded hormones have allowed me to exercise daily and enjoy my life with vigor and vitality.

“I am 65 yrs old, a vegan for 20 years, a cancer survivor and use BHRT to stay healthy!”

My life has been saved 2x, literally by including the individual RX for direly needed, balanced BHRT.
The BHRT script IS PERSONALIZED to what MY body needs.
The mare, urine-based, birth control pill would never be able to correct my hormone needs.
I am 65 yrs old, a vegan for 20 years, a cancer survivor + continue to use BHRT for 19 yrs to stay healthy!


The 2 “Traditional” GYNS widely missed getting this delicate balance.
Taking away this medical option is barbaric, in my opinion!! Many other civilized countries on planet Earth use BHRT for their female population to keep them healthy & caring for their families!!!
Traditional, western-trained OBGYNS are wholly uneducated about this BHRT option. My 2 former GYNS each made incorrect diagnoses for the cause of my uterine cancer. My blood work verified my new PCP and how off track both of these physicians were.
Now I won’t get Cancer ever again!!
The 3 estrogens that were deficient affected my ability to concentrate.
Not a good combination while working to complete 2 Ph.D. degrees, right?
I say, STAY SMART & KEEP BHRT in the USA!!!

“My whole well being has depended on the bio-identical hormones for 17 years, ever since my hysterectomy at age 45.”

At age 45 I had to have a hysterectomy. Thank goodness, my doctor at the time was knowledgeable enough to recommend the bio-identical hormones to help with abrupt side effects from the surgery. I did a lot of reading and research myself and I found comfort in knowing the bio-identical hormones were much safer to take. Over the 17 years since my surgery, I have moved several times and I’ve always had to search for a doctor who will prescribe them, even being over an hour away, because that’s how important it is to my well-being. I will definitely not ever take regular hormones and if the bio-identical gets restricted or banded, I will not sleep, will gain weight, get hot flashes and be a miserable moody person for sure!

“Keep my hormones available!”

I am a post-menopausal woman who suffered from TERRIBLE hot flashes repeatedly during the day and night. The bio-identical hormones I take prevent these debilitating events and help me sleep. I don't know how I could function without them.

Why is getting rid of them even being considered as they help so many people!!

“Safe and Easy HRT!”

I have had many types of replacement hormone therapy for over 40 years after my hysterectomy. Compounded hormones are the easiest, safest, and least expensive option out there. You can easily change your dosage after reviewing your blood test with your doctor without getting a new prescription. You don’t ingest the hormone therefore it bypasses your liver and kidneys! Fewer side effects. And it’s one of the least expensive hormone drug available.

“My life is 100 percent better.”

I a 71 yr old woman who has ankylosing spondylosis and other comorbidities. Menopause made my symptoms tenfold. I have had 3 treatments of pellets. It has literally changed my life. No, sweats, better sleep, less pain , More energy. Most important to me is my vaginal area is finally comfortable and working as it used to when I was a young woman. I went from being completely unable to have and enjoy intimacy to being just like I used to be. My love life with my wonderful husband is restored and better than ever. I am a woman again! Don't hesitate to try the pellets your world will change for the better. I will never be without them again. I lost over 10 years of intimacy and love, don't make that mistake. My life is 100 percent better.

“HRT gave me my life back”

Depression, hot flashes, lost sleep, and anxiety were part of my struggle. Blood work uncovered how off the charts my hormones were. Within 6 weeks, and my doctor's prescription accuracy, the compound turned my life and level of happiness around. It is infuriating that something so beneficial is under threat by our government. I have an idea.....redirect the time, energy, and resources to the opiate epidemic

“Bio-identical hormones are very beneficial”

I had bilateral ovarian cysts with torsion in my early thirties after having two children. Surgery to remove the cysts left me in early menopause. I researched the benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement and successfully began daily use of HRT, compounded from a trustworthy pharmacy. I have been able to maintain my quality of life for almost twenty years with the use of compounded hormone replacement therapy.

“Thyroid hell”

In 2014 my thyroid went haywire. I had developed a toxic nodule that caused my thyroid to become overactive. There are a litany of symptoms that go along with this condition and it makes one miserable. Once diagnosed, on the recommendation of an Endocrinologist, my thyroid was treated with radioactive iodine, rendering me hypothyroid for the remainder of my life. Thyroid medications were prescribed and helped some of the symptoms, but I still felt awful. My doctor prescribed a compounded, time released Liothyronine (T3) medication, to go along with my other thyroid medications, and within 30 days I was feeling better. Within 60 days I was myself again. It would be tragic if our government restricted use of these kinds of medications. My doctor also prescribed compounded B12 injections due to a deficiency, a condition that a supplement didn't help.

“Compound Hormones Changed my Life!!!!”

Compounded Hormones changed my life from depressed, moody, with hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and irritable all the time back to a normal person with none of the above symptoms anymore.
My quality of life has changed so much…I am able to sleep and I have the energy to do my work again and with a clear mind.
I cannot imagine having to go back to those days before I found the wonderful doctor who prescribed the Compounded hormones I am using now.

I cannot imagine having to go back to those days without the Compounded hormones I am using now!!!
