What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
May 30, 2009
Dr. Alicia Stanton, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD sheds some light on bioidentical hormones.
Safety of Bioidentical Hormones and the FDA
Hormonal imbalances contribute to the risk of stroke, heart attack and even breast cancer and when used properly, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can reduce this risk. Critics argue that the safety of bioidentical hormones should be confirmed by the FDA, and in fact the FDA has approved over 20 natural bioidentical hormone products including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
Compounding pharmacies that make bioidentical hormones are regulated by state and local government, not the FDA. However, those recommended by BodyLogicMD are regulated by the Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA) and accredited by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board, for high quality assurance.
