A Natural Alternative To Hormone Replacement Therapy
Ask your current pharmacist what the ingredients are in your current medication (that's prescribed for menopausal symptoms), then read on.....
Bio-Identical Hormones have the same chemical structure as hormones that are made by the human body. Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy involves the use of plant (soy & yam) derived hormones, that are identical to those your body produces. This means that you can receive hormones in the form necessary to allow you to receive it most effectively with minimal side effects, while alleviating symptoms.
Common hormone deficiency symptoms are:
- Hot Flashes
- Low Libido
- Vaginal Dryness/Thinning
- Weight Gain
- Sleep Disturbance
- Moodiness
- Depression
- Poor Concentration/Memory Loss
- Lack of Energy
At The Lime in the Coconut, we can compound Bio-Identical Hormones for you! Examples of plant derived Bio-Identical Hormones include Progesterone, Estriol, Estradiol, Estrone, Testosterone, DHEA, Pregnenolone, etc.
Each woman is unique. Bio-Identical Hormones can be made into a variety of strengths and combinations that can be adapted to fit your own individual hormone levels. Our compounding pharmacists work very closely with the patients and the physicians so that women can feel their best.
Common dosage forms include:
- Topical Creams
- Vaginal Creams
- Vaginal Tablets
- Troches (lozenge)
- Sublingual Tablets
- Sublingual Drops
- Vaginal Suppositories
Statistics say.....
That more than 30 million women are menopausal and an additional 20 million more are within a few years of this personal transition. As the number of women seeking hormone replacement therapy has grown, so has the mass production of pills, patches and creams by the drug industry.
Still, not all women are the same and commercially manufactured products don't always account for the unique differences between individuals.
There is another option though: Hormone Replacement Designed Specifically For your Body! Isn't it time to restore hormonal balance to your life!
How do I get started with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Your pharmacist at The Lime in the Coconut will sit down with you, one on one, for a hormone consultation. She will discuss your medical history, your symptoms, and will further explain the Bio-Identical Hormones to you, verses the synthetic hormones that are commercially available, as well as the importance of saliva testing and how to perform the test.
Upon completing your consultation, you will receive a saliva test kit to take home for collection and completion. When we receive your test results from the laboratory, your pharmacist will contact your physician with the results in order to obtain a precription for your Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Upon receiving the prescription, we will compound the medication in our laboratory at the pharmacy.
Please contact The Lime in the Coconut for consultation and laboratory fees, and to set up an appointment.
