NATURAL vs. SYNTHETIC HORMONES

In healthy individuals hormones exist in appropriate levels and in proper balance with each other.  The goal of ProactiveHealth is to provide natural hormonal replacement to restore the balance and levels of hormones to a healthy, normal level. 

Natural hormones are produced from vegetable sources and are chemically identical in structure to the hormones produced by human body.  Taking a natural hormone supplement to restore a hormone already present in the body to an appropriate level, is an alternative to synthetic hormone therapy.  Boosting hormone levels to a higher than normal range, in the belief that if a little is good more is better, can result in aberrations and adverse side effects.

Synthetic hormones are hormones that have been modified in some way (different in chemical structure from hormones produced by the body) or have been isolated from another animal species, for example, from pregnant mare’s urine.  Such hormones are not natural or identical in molecular structure to the body’s natural hormones.   Synthetic hormones are foreign to the human body and can have negative side effects.

ProactiveHealth believes in this philosophy and delivers the highest quality natural hormones to our customers.
