Natural HormonesDr. Sobo is a proponent of the use of natural hormones. Synthetic hormones are among the most widely prescribed pharmaceuticals in use today. Natural hormones, made from plant sources are identical in structure to the hormones produced by our own bodies. Because they are substances natural to the body, they may minimize any side effects and maximize the safety of hormone replacement therapy. Natural hormones are FDA-approved substances made by licensed compounding pharmacies, and they are available with a doctor's prescription.
