Certain studies, including the Woman's Health Initiative (which used non-bioidentical hormones), suggest that hormone supplementation may increase the risk of certain cancers, heart disease, stroke and other ailments. These risks should be discussed with your health care professional while deciding on, implementing, or continuing non-bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

The option to use Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is considered controversial by some, and should also be discussed with your medical care provider as it is theoretically possible that it may not be safer than synthetic hormones. There is conflicting published research on the topic, so each patient must be informed of the potential risks, as well as the potential benefits of BHRT.

If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem, condition or issue, promptly contact your health care provider. The statements on this website have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The photos in this Web site feature models for illustrative purposes only.
