Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has received increasing attention since the results of the Womens Health Initiative were announced. Their large clinical trial on hormone replacement therapy surprisingly for its corporate sponsors, showed dangerous cancer and clot-inducing properties of Premarin and synthetic Progestins. When these results were publicized and became better known, the use of Premarin and Progestins plummeted (and rates of cancer soon followed).  Bioidentical hormones used in BHRT include estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone and testosterone.
