Hi DG,
Got the message - thanks.
Basically my query is this. Let's strip aside names, packaging, and manner of delivery and look at molecules. We are talking of 3 categories :
1. Molecule 1 is the molecule that makes up our own, natural hormones in our bodies.
2. Molecule 2 is the molecule made from plants but which is identical to Number 1.
3. Molecule 3 is the molecule ....erm, made from plants but which is also identical to Number 1. And Number 2 ?
Or have I misunderstood this, and Molecule 3 isn't identical at all? (in which case I'm dropping my Utrogestan).
Is the main difference between 2 and 3 is that one is called bio-identical, one is now being referred to as body-identical? If they're the same molecule does it really matter?
I understand there is an industry mistrust of compounded hormones rather than something in a box, but this is delivery rather than the molecule. I'm not particularly commenting on this here, I just can't understand why, if a molecule is identical, it is called something different.
Perhaps an over simplified view but I'm sure you get my drift.
