Most Prescribed Chemically Identical Human HormonesESTROGENEstrogens are hormones produced by the ovaries. There are three basic forms of estrogen: Estradiol 10-20%, estrone 05-20%, and estriol 60-80%. Of the three, estradiol is the most physiologically and biologically active. Hormone Replacement is comprised of either two (Bi-est) Estradiol and Estriol or all three estrogens (Tri-est) using a formula that your body recognizes chemically as it would it’s own. Topical Estriol face cream (0.6% to 1.5%) is often used to treat Hirsutism, excess facial hair around lip, jaw and neck in women. PROGESTERONEThis hormone is secreted by the ovaries and is of paramount importance to women. It is used in nature to balance the effects of estrogen. COMPOUNDED THYROIDThe thyroid gland is considered “Metabolism Central”. This butterfly-shaped gland effects energy regulation in every cell, organ and tissue in the body. It regulates temperature, metabolism, and cerebral function. It also increases carbohydrate, lipids, and proteins breakdown resulting in weight loss. Compounded thyroid medication supplements T-3 as well as T-4, correct deficiencies of Thyroid hormone and return you to optimal levels.
PREGNENOLONEPregnenolone is a hormone that keeps our brains working at peak capacity. Research has shown that pregnenolone may improve memory, mental function, concentration and overall well-being. Pregnenolone should be prescribed in a sustained release micronized form to assure adequate absorptions and more importantly assure a pure grade supplementation devoid of any contaminants.
DHEADehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. The most tremendous effects often seen from DHEA are based on its ability to stimulate protein systhesis from the cell, which in turn may result in an increase in cell regeneration. This regeneration can forestall the disease process. DHEA should be prescribed in a slow release, micronized form, which allows for complete absorption as well as a slow release and metabolism.
TESTOSTERONE FOR MENThis hormone is primarily considered the male hormone. As this declines with age, there are health and appearance problems that accompany this loss. A chemically identical form of human testosterone is micronized and may be prescribed in topical or oral formulation.
TESTOSTERONE FOR WOMENHealthy women naturally produce small amounts in the ovaries. It helps control a womens’s libido and also may be known to enhance the functions of estrogen.
MELATONINThis major hormone is produced in the Pineal Gland and helps to set your “biological” clock for wake/sleep cycles. Melatonin is a biological hormone that helps regulate the rhythm of sleep as well as the deep stages. This causes you to sleep more soundly and improve the function of your immune system.Melatonin should be prescribed in a sustain release, micronized form, which allows for complete absorption as well as a sustained level for the night.
HUMAN GROWTH HORMONEGrowth hormone, also known as the healing hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain and manufactured by the same process as insulin. It is known to stimulate cell growth and rejuvenation. Human growth hormone may result in faster healing of wounds and has been shown to generate tremendous improvement in postoperative healing by stimulation of cellular repair and protein synthesis. MINOXIDIL/FINASTERIDEMinoxidil/Finasteride is a solution for hair loss. The minoxidil dilates small blood vessels. When applied to the affected area of the scalp it has been shown to stimulate hair regrowth. Finasteride is a specific type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. That is, it inhibits the enzyme responsible for regulating conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, the drug decreases DHT’s effects on the hair follicles, reversing the process of hair loss. This prescription item also contains CoQ-10 to further reduce DHT at the hair follicle. ADRENAL CORTEX EXTRACT 250mg (No Prescription Required)Adrenal cortex extracts help repair and restore normal adrenal function. People suffering from chronic illnesses, including FMS and CFS, may be responding to adrenal exhaustion. With years of chronic pain, poor sleep habits, excess simulation, unrelenting fatigue, poor eating habits and multiple prescription medications they have literally burned out their stress monitoring glands; the glands and the hormones they release have been used up. "Adrenal cortical extracts have been recommended and sucessfully used for...asthenia, asthma, colds, burns...dyspepsia...hypotension, infections, infectious diseases...neurasthenia...dizziness and nausea during pregnancy" from "Practical Oranotherapy," H.R. Harrower as quoted in "Adrenal Fatigue, the 21st Century Stress Syndrome," by James L. Wilson, N.D., D.C., Ph.D. These extracts may be used to replenish and help normalize adrenal function. Unlike cortisol hormone replacement, adrenal extracts can be discontinued when adrenal function normalizes.
ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 100MG (No Prescription Required)Alpha Lipoic Acid is a highly versatile and effective intra- and extra- cellular antioxidant. Because it is water solluble and fat soluble, it can enter all parts of a cell to neutralize free radicals. It has been shown to aid in regenerating vitamin E, C and Glutathione (the livers detox specialist) after they have been inactivated by free radicals. Alpha Lipoic Acid is primary used to support optimal cardiovascular, mental and immune system health. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a good chelating agent and may bind to metallic substances such as lead, cadmium, copper, etc. neutralizing them and preparing them for excretion. As we age, the body's production of Alpha Lipoic Acid decreases. Alpha LIpoic Acid may alter (reduce) the need for certain diabetic medication and should therefore be taken by diabetics under doctor supervision. It has received approval in Germany for treatment of diabetic neuropathies.
SUPER ANTIOXIDANTS (No Prescription Required)Our blend of antioxidants contains very selective phyto-flavonoids. These protect the cell against aging by scavenging free radicals. Free radicals are produced as part of your body’s energy generation process and have been shown to damage normal tissue. People at increased risk of free radical damage are diabetics, athletes, those with chronic fatigue, and other hormone deficiency states such as menopause. It is difficult to get these antioxidants in the diet and hence the need for supplementation.
BRAIN SUPPORT (No Prescription Required)12 Key neuronutrients to promote cognitive function. American Hormones has formulated a blend of cognitive supporting supplements that can encourage optimum cellular communication in the brain and may provide some protection from stress induced toxins. Accuragely balanced to avoid over stimulation of any one area, the documented complementary action of key ingredients in Brain Support can play a role in accommodating the brains excessive or chronic release or adrenaline and cortisol, normallizing the accumulating effects of toxins and returning proper oxygen and nutrient flow to cognitive areas of the brain. Combining the best of ayuredic ingredients, herbal sources used in European medicine for ages, and new recently researched scientific neural precursors Brain Support, in combination with a Multiple Vitamin, offers the opportunity to improve absentmidedness and other mild memory problems associated with aging.
CO Q-10 30mg and 100mg (No Prescription Required)Co Q-10 is an anti-oxidant and may promote growth and cell protection. It is normally found in the hundreds of mitochondria of each cell and is vital for the formation of Adenosine Triphoshate, the basic energy molecule used by each cell. The human body's ability to make Co Q-10 declines with age and with the use of statin drugs. It is essential for the optimum performance of "high energy" organs, such as heart, muscles, liver, kidneys and pancreas.
L-CARNITINE 250mg (No Prescription Required)L-Carnitine helps the body convert fatty acids into energy for muscular activity. It is produced in the liver and kidneys and stored in skeletal muscle, heart and brain tissue. Several studies have indicated L-Carnitine may lower total cholesterol and triglycerides and increase High Density Lipid (good) cholesterol. It has been used to Congestive Heart Failure and may lessen the chances of suffering subsequent heart attacks as well as lowering the incidence of abnormal heart rhythms and chest pains. L-Carnitine has shown demonstrable improvement in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Patients with Coronary Artery Disease who supplement their regular medications with L-Carnitine may be able to sustain physical activity for longer periods of time.
MULTIPLE VITAMIN (No Prescription Required)This comprehensive formula offers enhanced antioxidant protection, broader trace element nutrition and augmented B-vitamin support. The formulation contains various minerals in appropriate doses. A clear, water soluble cellulose coating protects the stability and makes the tablets easy to swall. USP protocols ensure dissolution in 45 minutes or less for immediate bioavailability.
OMEGA-3 fatty acids fish oils 1000mg (No Prescription Required)These natural oils have abundant molecules of EPA/DHA that prevent aging of the cell and help DNA regeneration. The AHI Omega-3 is pharmaceutical grade and molecularly distilled from marine fish oil concentrate. It is mercury and PCB free. The EPA/DHA ratio per capsule is 300/200 mg. This assures the safety and high potency of this product. Clinical studies have shown a 45% reduction in fatal heart attacks as well as 20% reduction in all cause mortality after 3 years of EPA-DHA use. It also has been studied and found useful in a variety of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, depression and Type 2 Diabetes. Virually every cell in the body needs Omega-3 fatty acids for its structural integrity.
PROSTATE SUPPORT (No Prescription Required)This dietary supplement supports proper prostate function. Saw Palmetto, Green Tea, Zinc and Beta Sitosterol inhibit the action of 5-alpha reductase which in turn reduces the production of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) thought to be the primary cause of prostate problems. Resveratrol, ALA and Vitamins C and E enhance the structural integrity of small capillaries and veins.
B12 MC SUBLINGUAL (No Prescription Required)Vitamin B-12 helps maintain the fatty sheaths that cover and protect nerve endings. B-12 with folic acid is needed for the formation of red blood cells and to improve capillary flow. They also convert homocysteine into methionine. Folic acid balances fluctuating moods and is needed to repair DNA and RNA. Sublingual B-12 is absorbed in the mouth so it bypasses the need for intrinsic factor in the stomach.
GUGGUL EXTRACT 750 MG (No Prescription Required)This purified extract of crude guggul gum from the small mukul tree was first discovered in India, and has been used ever since. With its two active ingredients, Z-Guggulsterone and E-Guggulsterone active at an average of 2.5%, the refined resin supports healthy cardiovascular circulation. Some studies have also reported that these active guggulsterones may be able to assist the body in normalizing cholesterol levels while encouraging healthy immune system response.
VITA-HAIRVita-Hair is a blended supplement of SAaw Palmetto, Horsetail plant extract, Biotin and Coenzyme q-10. Horsetail supplies dilica, a building block of nail and hair tissue. Co Q-10 blocks the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a primary cause of hair loss. Biotin promotes cell growth and fatty acid production vital in strengthening hair and nails. Collagen imparts strength and elasticity to blood vessels to improve hair growth
