Progesterone Compounded - Troche/Lozenge

Description

HORMONES

For both women and men, hormonal imbalances can wreak havoc with mood, relationships, and quality of life in general.

• As awareness of hormonal-related problems has grown, so has the mass production of pills, patches and creams to treat them;
• But each person’s body is different and has its own unique needs, and commercially manufactured products, which tend to be “one-size-fits-all,” don’t always account for that.
• Compounding can customize solutions that fit your specific needs.
• Our pharmacy partners with the innovators in compounding for HRT.

Traditional VS Bioidentical HRT

Synthetic hormones, such as Premarin and Provera, have traditionally been used for hormone replacement therapy. More recently, bioidentical hormones have grown in popularity as the chemical structures of bioidentical hormones are identical to those produced by the human body. Because the chemical structure is identical, these hormones are often referred to as “bioidentical.” Experts believe this makes them more reliable and more predictable in the way they work.

Progesterone

The ovaries and the adrenal glands in women and, in smaller amounts, in the testes and the adrenal glands in men, produce progesterone. Levels of progesterone are especially high after ovulation and remain high through mid-cycle. If pregnancy does not occur, it signals the uterus to shed this lining. Progesterone plays an important role in brain function and is often called the ”feel-good hormone” because of its mood-enhancing and anti-depressant effects. Progesterone is especially beneficial because it keeps the other hormones in balance.
