A member asked:

I am over 50 and considering bio-identical hormone replacement. thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly appropriate: "bio-identical" is a marketing term which generally refers to compounded preparations which may be of variable quality and strengths and are poorly regulated. Natural hormones are commercially available in standardized doses if that is what is preferred.
