Women & Estrogen |

Women using hormone replacement should be aware of a recent study that found several risks.
Recent studies on female hormone replacement therapy have revealed that the risks outweigh the benefits. Find out about safe, natural alternatives to estrogen and progesterone replacement.
A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association published the principal results from the Women's Health Initiative 1. The study involved 16,608 women who took estrogen plus progesterone or a placebo to determine whether postmenopausal- estrogen replacement would help prevent heart disease and hip fractures. This study was also designed to determine whether there were risks associated with hormone-replacement therapy. The study was stopped after five years because the risks of therapy far outweighed the hope for benefits.
The conclusions of this landmark study are that women should not be using hormone replacement to prevent cardiovascular disease. The good news is that there are natural alternatives that successfully relieve these symptoms without the risks associated with prescription estrogen replacement.
