Hormone replacement is most commonly used for the treatment of symptoms due to menopause, but can also be used for several disorders resulting from hormonal imbalances or deficiencies. Many women find that the symptoms of menopause are alleviated by hormone replacement.

In a survey conducted in the spring of 2005 with our hormone replacement female patients, 86% of those responding claimed to receive benefits from their therapy. More than 63% stated that they were very satisfied with the overall relief of their menopausal symptoms. These ladies ranged in age from 43 to 71 years old and had been using the Natural/Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (NHRT) for as little as a few months to as long as more than four years, with the average length of time being just over two years. 100% of these patients said that they would recommend NHRT and, more specifically, Dr. Sharzad Green to their friends and family for a consultation to determine if NHRT would be beneficial to them.

There are three types of hormones generally used in Hormone Replacement Therapy, Estrogen,Progesterone and Testosterone. 

The normal levels of human estrogen consist of 60-80% estriol, 10 –20% estrone, 10-20% estradiol.  Many patients & doctors are turning to Natural/Bio-Identical hormone replacement therapy, which attempts to mimic the normal human estrogen levels using natural products obtained from soy or yam. Progesterone and Testosterone are also very important in hormone replacement therapy. All of the hormones we use in our pharmacy to compound Hormone Replacement Therapy for women are natural and plant sourced (soy or yam).
