For patients with a hormone imbalance, hormone therapy may help relieve challenging symptoms. When balance is restored, and hormone levels are optimized, the entire body can function at its full potential.

The Wall Street Journal recently did a deep dive into the subject. Check out the article below for more details.

Did you know???

Dietary supplement companies are NOT required by federal law to be proven safe before they are released for public consumption.

Here is where this topic gets interesting. By law dietary supplements can only include approved ingredients but the levels of these compounds could be much more or much less than indicated on the label.

How do you know which brands to trust???

NSF International and USP (both non-for-profit organizations) both review dietary supplements and help establish standards for healthcare products.

NSF and USP help consumers verify the quality of dietary supplements by auditing a companies manufacturing facilities to ensure they comply with industry standards. Additionally, they test the contents of products to verify it matches what is listed on the label. If a product passes strict inspection it will receive an NSF or USP verified seal.

Make sure to check for these labels to buy with confidence!

The Fine Print of Dietary Supplements The products’ ingredients and labels don’t always match, and federal law doesn’t require the supplements to be proven safe before they are marketed.
