Synthetic vs Bio-identical Hormones: Why the Difference Matters
After discussing the importance of all three hormones in women’s health, this video, we are addressing one of the BIGGEST misconceptions in hormone therapy.
Highlights:
❌ New guidelines often say no hormones after 60 but these are based on studies using synthetic progestins (like Prempro, Provera, norethindrone).
✅ These synthetic hormones cancel out the benefits of estrogen and have been linked to heart attacks, strokes, clots and breast cancer.
✅ Bio-identical progesterone and estradiol are NOT the same. In 50+ years of literature, no study has shown harm when using bio-identical hormones correctly.
✅ Women can safely stay on bio-identical estrogen and progesterone long-term (even past 60), when monitored properly.
📍 Why this matters to us as a BHRT compounding pharmacy:
Because misinformation keeps women fearful of treatment that could protect their bones, heart, brain and intimate health. We are here to educate, personalise and deliver high-quality BHRT that’s backed by science, not outdated studies.
This is more than hormone therapy.
It’s about restoring trust in women’s health.
