Hormones are an essential part of the workings of every cell in the human body, and they work best when balanced.  However stress, poor food choices, inadequate sleep, synthetic hormones, and sedentary lifestyles can throw hormones out of balance and create real health problems.  When your hormones are out of balance, it can contribute to migraines, sleep disturbances, weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, and low libido.

Compounded bio-identical hormones can be customized for the individual and meet the unique needs of each woman with lower doses, special combinations and unique delivery methods.  Compounded bio-identical hormones are prescribed by a health care provider and made by a compounding pharmacy, like Bayview Pharmacy.  Many women are better able to tolerate them because they are chemically identical to human hormones and can be delivered in individualized doses.

Scientific studies, clinical papers, and other medical evidence are continuously being published to help medical providers and patients to understand the differences between compounded bio-identical hormones, and patented manufactured hormones.
