Natural Hormones or Synthetic Hormones ~ What is the difference?

Synthetic hormones are hormones that are not usually found in nature, or at least not found in humans. Some of these hormones are produced from the urine of pregnant horses!

Natural hormones are plant-derived, from yam or soy, and are bio-identical to that of humans. That means that they have the exact chemical structure, are molecularly identical, to those produced by the human body.

Receive all these benefits with fewer unwanted side effects than those caused by synthetic hormones.
