In this short video, the speaker advises consumers considering bioidentical hormone products to proactively contact the pharmaceutical company to learn the actual manufacturer and request a full ingredient list, because labels typically only list generic terms like “estrogen” or “progesterone.” The speaker also clarifies that micro‑ionized “bioidentical” hormones are almost always synthetic, not plant‑based, and urges viewers who care about ingredient sources to verify this information before use.

Little tidbit of information for you. If you are considering bioidentical hormones, make sure that you call the pharmaceutical company and ask them who the manufacturer is so that you can call the manufacturer and get the list of ingredients. The list of ingredients are not on the label. It just says estrogen or progesterone. There is actually other ingredients in those, as well as if you care about whether it's synthetic or not, the thought that microionized bioidentical hormones are, um, people think that that equals natural or plant-based. That's not the case. They are pretty much always synthetic. So make sure you understand that as well as get the list of ingredients. So super key, super important, especially if you care about ingredients, especially if you're looking for plant-based. You need to know that. So have a great day.
