Currently, MacaActive is gaining worldwide attention as a safe, natural, and highly effective alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), since breast and ovarian cancer as well as heart diseases, blood clots and other side effects are associated with this treatment. Many health professionals are integrating MacaActive into their practices and promoting it as an excellent treatment for menopause symptoms.

HRT is an abbreviation for Hormone Replacement Therapy. Several years ago it became popular for doctors to prescribe the hormone estrogen for women with menopausal symptoms. They thought they were replacing the hormones lost with the advent of menopause. Contemporary physicians now know that estrogen is not the hormone needing to be replaced. They are becoming increasingly aware that it is progesterone that is desperately in need of replacing. See similar questions...

Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes. Even if you do not inhale cigar smoke, you are still at risk for oral and pharyngeal (throat) cancers. Like cigarette smokers, cigar smokers are at increased risk for periodontal (gum) disease, a leading cause of tooth loss. In addition to the health risks, cigar smoke, like cigarette smoke can cause staining of the teeth and tongue as well as bad breath. See similar questions...

I have had wonderful success with natural progesterone (not progestin) cream and feel comfortable recommending the natural progesterone cream. As with anything, progesterone is not the answer to everything for every woman. A common safe dose before menopause is 15-30 mg. of cream one or two times daily for the 1-2 weeks before menses. After menopause, the dose is 15-30 mg. 1 or 2 times daily for 26 to 28 days per month. For millennia, women have used herbs wisely and safely. See similar questions...

One thing we have learned from the large trials performed (The Million Women & WHI trials) is that any form of hormone therapy should not be taken continuously. However, there is considerable evidence to show that Progesterone has a protective effect on breast tissue by encouraging breast cells to die (Apoptosis)2, once they have finished their intended life cycle.

There are great controversies regarding HRT. I, for one, am not fearful of the stuff, not in the least. The studies done so far really do not test the 'best' HRT, that of a plant-based estradiol type formulation. Most all of the testing (and fear) is regarding Premarin, the HRT gold standard for many years which is conjugated equine estrogen extracted from the urine of chained pregnant mare's urine.

Natural hormones are, in fact, bioidentical hormones. The fact that the bioidentical hormones come from natural plants (soy or yam plants) does not make them bioidentical. From there they are taken to a chemical plant where they are further processed into the bioidentical forms. They are further tested for bioidentical purity, so that when a compounding pharmacy receives these products they are ready to be compounded into different dosage forms. See similar questions...

No. The results of conclusive research prove that hormone replacement therapy is not safe. The use of synthetic estrogen and progestin is linked to increased risks of heart disease, breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer, strokes and blood clots. Women should thoroughly investigate these risks and discuss all concerns with her physician before deciding to use a synthetic hormone replacement therapy. See similar questions...
