Bone density loss (osteoporosis) is a serious health concern for women. It happens when the metabolic process of building bone is interrupted. Hormone imbalance can be a culprit.

Like all cells in our bodies, bone tissue breaks down and rebuilds continuously. The process works through the agency of bone-dissolvers called osteoclast cells that dissolve old bone tissue and bone-builders called osteoblast cells that stimulate new bone growth.

Estrogen delays the breakdown of bone tissue, slowing the bone regeneration process. Studies suggest that this is why estrogen dominance – a higher ratio of estrogen to progesterone than is healthy – is linked to osteoporosis. Adding bioidentical progesterone to mitigate estrogen dominance helps jump start the bone regeneration process, stimulating osteoblast cells to grow new bone tissue and increase bone density. According to Morris Noteloviz, M.D., Ph.D., author of Stand Tall: Every Woman’s Guide to Preventing and Treating Osteoporosis, no other form of HRT or dietary supplementation has had as high a level of positive response as bioidentical progesterone.

Estrogen delays the breakdown of bone tissue, slowing the bone regeneration process. Studies suggest that this is why estrogen dominance is linked to osteoporosis.

Progestin, the synthetic version of progesterone that is commonly used in conventional hormone replacement therapy, does not have the same impact on bone health as bioidentical progesterone. In fact, synthetic hormones have been linked to increased risks for osteoporosis.

Dr. Randolph’s Natural Balance Cream contains the maximum concentration of bioidentical progesterone that can be mixed in an over-the-counter (OTC) product. An optimal liposomal (fat-soluble) delivery system means that the active ingredient is dispersed continuously through the skin for up to 12 hours ensuring proper absorption. It is safe and recommended for all women over 30 who are experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance.
