Vibrant Nation Free Report Gives Expert Advice About Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women Over 50

Online, December 29, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The controversy surrounding hormone therapy for midlife women continues. According to the New York Times, one full decade after the Women's Health Initiative launched its $625 million study to examine the risks and benefits of menopause hormones, supplements and low-fat diets - the issues surrounding women's perimenopausal and menopausal health appear more unsettled and confusing than ever. Fearing harmful side effects, some women over 50 have lost confidence in menopause studies altogether and now refuse to even consider hormone replacement therapy.
