Hormones are your body’s messengers.  If they are not delivering the right messages, you will feel lousy and in time, you will develop degenerative diseases of aging.  Your endocrine glands produce hormones, but when under stress, hormone deficiency would develop.  Taking natural hormones structurally identical to what your glands produce, allows the cells to regenerate and stress is taken off the endocrine glands.  The best compounding pharmacies are used to tailor to the individual’s need.  This is not a one pill for all approach.  These hormones are prescribed at physiologic doses identical to the amount your endocrine glands produce.
