Bio identical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones made in human bodies. Specifically, when discussing Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) we are usually referring to estrogens, progesterone and testosterone. These specific Bio Identical hormones CANNOT be patented by drug companies because they already exist and were not "invented". To be able to patent a hormone, it must be changed in some way and so cannot be bio-identical. These changes can be very detrimental to your health. Bio Identical hormones, because they are identical to what your body has been making and using for years, are easily used by and metabolized by your body, usually with minimal side effects.
There are tens-of-thousands of studies that describe the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy for women. Most of the studies, in the past, have been financed by drug companies and have shown that conventional hormone-replacement therapy has significant risks and that women should be careful when considering hormone replacement therapy. Dr. Rosenbloom ONLY prescribes Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). BHRT has been shown to be MORE EFFECTIVE and MUCH SAFER than synthetic hormones.

Women produce about 1/10th as much testosterone as men. However, testosterone is essential to women's health and is required for sex drive and sexual function . Without it a woman's body would fail to appropriately respond to sexual stimuli. Testosterone also promotes a woman's ability to maintain lean body mass and to turn fat into muscle. Testosterone levels must be balanced in proportion to progesterone and estrogen to ensure optimum sexual performance and experience. Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is proven to improve and restore sexual health when any or all of these hormones are deficient.
