Re: Here we go again - FDA Cracking down on Bioidenticals, especiall

[Guest guest]

I've tried Tri-Est, Bi-Est and estriol only, and the latter is what works for me. It's the only one that takes away the vaginal itching I had, which was driving me crazy! It also does what estradiol does, i.e., no hot flashes or night sweats, etc. What works for one person may not work with another, as we all have seen here. I would be very upset if estriol was banned. And I believe that the studies you're referring to were done by Dr. . Dr. Lee kept mostly to progesterone research, and Dr. did a lot of the estrogen stuff. He's the one who came up with the 80-10-10 ratio of Tri-Est.

Biest was the only thing that really helped my flashes to tell you

the truth. The thing that I am NOT comfortable with is: who is

really WATCHING what the compounders are putting into their formula?

Several times, I've had trouble with having weaker or stronger

estradiol of the same strength depending upon which pharmacy I've

used.
