How do the 2 types of bioidentical hormone products differ?
The pharmaceuticals are mass-produced and, therefore, do have preservatives for a longer shelf-life. They also have few different dosage levels, so it’s harder to individualize dosing. Compounded bioidentical hormones are ordered on an individualized basis, contain no preservatives, can be made I whatever dosage or form (capsule, cream, lozenges…) prescribed and can combine hormones together into one form.
