Natural hormone creams improve menopause symptoms – More proof

“Can make remarkable changes in a woman’s life”

There is even more research to show that natural hormone creams improve menopause symptoms. Researchers used creams that contained hormones from plants that are similar to the hormones produced by the body (bioidentical hormones). 150 women between the ages of 30 and 70 years were divided into 2 groups.
Half were given a cream containing natural (bioidentical) hormones (progesterone, estrogen, testosterone and DHEA – the last 2 are usually considered to be male hormones but women also need them for good hormone balance,too little and you may have low sex drive and other problems ).
The other half were given synthetic hormones -

• birth control pills for younger women
• Prempro (progesterone and estrogen) or Premarin (estrogen only) for the menopausal women

After one year of use, the women on bioidentical natural hormones reported:

• less depression
• less anxiety
• less pain
• fewer hot flashes and night sweats
• a better quality of life

Tests also showed that they :

• had lower blood pressure
• had lower levels of “bad cholesterol”
• were less likely to develop blood clots

According to one of the researchers,

“It appears this preparation could be protective against symptoms of menopause as well as heart disease..”

If you’re going to have natural hormones specially formulated for you make sure you use a licensed compounding pharmacist. You can find a good list of them here.
If you don’t want to, or can’t, use a compounding pharmacist, there are some good natural hormone creams on the market.
