How do I know if my hormones are unbalanced?
 

The surest way is to have your hormones tested. We offer Test Kits from ZRT Labs, the leading lab for hormone testing.       You can do this test in the comvenience and privacy of your own home and mail it to ZRT Lab to be analized. They send the results directly to you. More about Test Kits......... Many women have decided to try Bioidentical Hormones based on their symptoms, especially after reading books by Dr. John Lee, including "What You Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause" or Suzanne Somers' books. Many others who have had a hysterectomy or are post menopausal want to restore hormone levels to feel better and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

What are some of the symptoms of hormone imbalance?

  Some of these include weight gain, water retention, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, depression, vaginal dryness, osteoporosis, fibrocystic lumps, and other symptoms described below.

Are there natural remedies available to alleviate these symptoms and help restore hormone balance, even after menopause or hysterectomy?
 

Many health professionals now encourage the use of natural bioidentical hormones and other natural supplements that safely control the symptoms associated with menopause, hysterectomy and PMS, as well as help with bone loss. We offer high quality natural Progesterone Creme,Estriol Creme, Homeopathic Testosterone Creme. We also offer Herbal products that help the glands to  function normally to produce hormones naturally and boost "good estrogen" while lowering the "bad estrogens".

What is the first hormone I should supplement?
 

Dr Lee and other authorities on the subject of hormone balance, have explained that women begin to lose the ability to produce Progesterone much earlier than estrogen. Quite often, by the time a woman reaches 40, her progesterone levels have dropped low enough to result in her experiencing "Estrogen Dominance" as Dr. Lee refers to it. Low progesterone can even occur in young women and can result in Migraines, Fatigue, Irritability, Cramping, Anxiety, Mood Swings, Depression, Fat Gain, Water Retention, Foggy Thinking, Breast Tenderness, Fibrocystic Breasts, Irregular Menstrual Periods, Miscarriages, Infertility, Decreased Sex Drive, Dryness, Endometriosis, Bone Loss, Hair Loss, Hot Flashes, Insomnia, Premature Aging, PMS, Menopausal Symptoms and Bone Loss. So it would make sense to supplement progesterone if you are experiencing any of these. Quite often, just adding progesterone will restore normal balance and make a world of difference in how you feel

Another excellent supplement that does not add hormones, but helps strengthen the glands that produce them naturally is Royal Maca. You can use both progesterone and Royal Maca at the same time.

If I am pre or peri-memopausal, do I need estrogen?
   It depends on what your hormone test or syptoms show. According to Dr. Lee, most women are able to make sufficient estrogen well after menopause if they still have their ovaries. Estrogen can also be produced in the Adrenal Glands and even in the fat cells. However, there are certain symptoms that do indicate low estrogen. They are, (according to Dr. Lee's Hormone Questionnaire) Night sweats, Vaginal dryness, Painful intercourse, Memory problems,  Bladder infections,  Lethargic depression,  Hot flashes.

Have natural hormones been studied for safety?
   Once again, quoting Dr. Wright from his book "Natural Hormone Replacement":
"No and Yes".... "No, these hormones have not been "tested" in the large, expensive, double-blind studies that some modern scientists can't live without.   And Yes, natural hormones have been thoroughly checked out for thousands of generations of women. Nature seems to have settled on them as the safest possible."

Does the estriol or progesterone contain wild yam or soy?
   These hormones for NHR get their start from the wild yam, which is rich in 'precursor' molecules easily converted by biochemists into other molecules that are identical in every way to 'natural' estrogens, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones"  So, even though the estriol and progesterone are derived from ingredients in the wild yam, these ingredients are actually converted to the hormones themselves by a process that occurs in the laboratory.
   Dr Lee explained that wild yams are very rich in cholesterol,  and hormones are derived from cholesterol. We naturally make hormones from the cholesterol in our bodies (a reason why many very thin women have a hard time producing enough hormones) In the same way, a chemist can add enzymes to the cholesterol and bring about the conversion to specific hormones in a test tube.

How can I know if I need hormones and what ones I need?
  You can have a Saliva Hormone test done by a lab that specializes in this. We offer Saliva Hormone Test Kits on our website, or, if you are aware of your symptoms, you can use Dr. Lee's Hormone Questionnaire to help you make a decision.

Why do I need a saliva test? My doctor uses a blood test for testing hormones?
  To see why saliva testing is the most accurate please read what Dr. Lee has to say here.
