What are the benefits of synthetics over herbs?
This is something that's crossed my mind a lot, but never bothered asking since I figured there wasn't really a difference. But every time I bring up herbs for hrt on other various forums people tend to view herbs as being inferior to synthetics???
(Hopefully Lotus can chime in too but I'd like to hear from everyone).
I think to some extent it depends on your goals and your definition of 'inferior'.
Herbs, including PM, act more slowly and IMO the end results are likely to be less pronounced. OTOH, herbs are more easily obtained. Then again we are all different, basically PM worked well for me and produced results in about 3 months but then after about 18months it did nothing more other than maintain volume. I assume that is down to my body chemistry/physiology but I don't know for sure and maybe synthetics under the supervision of doctors would have given me more, who knows?
