Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy

Dr Steven Brody MD, gynecologist and assistant clinical professor at UC San Diego School of Medicine, presented information on bio-identical hormone therapy in menopause at The Scripps Conference on Natural Supplements in La Jolla, California.

In Brody’s opinion, conjugated hormones - namely Premarin, which consists of about six different conjugated estrogens derived from the urine of pregnant mares, is “one of the worst offenders for woman’s health in the last 50-100 years. It’s natural for horses, not for women,” he said.
