What are the benefits of replacing Estrogen and Progesterone?
Studies have shown that natural hormone replacement therapy can diminish or prevent menopausal symptoms, such as a lowered sex drive, hot flashes, and night sweats; but can also decrease one’s likelihood of getting a stroke, osteoporosis, or heart attack. With regards to slowing down the course of osteoporosis, it has been proven that estrogen inhibits bone re-absorption, while progesterone stimulates bone formation. These two effects lead to increased amount of bone mass counteracting osteoporosis.
