CALL TO ACTION: Stop the FDA from restricting compounded hormone therapy!

The FDA’s intentions to ban compounded hormones were made clear in a letter responding to 22 members of Congress who expressed concerns that the agency is eliminating access. In its response, the FDA doubled down on every aspect of the flawed report from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The FDA convened the NASEM committee to assess cBHRT after the natural health community and other stakeholders pushed back against several bioidentical hormones’ nomination to the Difficult to Compound List (items that appear on this final list will be banned from compounding). The final NASEM report was written by non-experts in pharmacy compounding and marred with bias. You can read our previous coverage for more details, but the facts clearly show that the FDA managed the process from the start to ensure that the NASEM committee reached the “proper” conclusions. Unsurprisingly, NASEM’s report concluded that cBHRT was a “public health concern.”

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
