Hormones:
There are multiple hormones involved in the normal aging process. Most of them
start to decrease after we reach the mid- 20s and continue their decline afterward.
Other hormones are more specifically associated with menopause (women) and
andropause (men). Scientific studies have demonstrated that maintaining youthful
levels of some hormones can not only prolong life, but also ease most of the
changes associated with aging (like baldness, lack of energy and stamina, saggy
face, wrinkles, mental sharpness and memory, mood changes, fat accumulation in
the abdomen), menopause in women (night sweats, hot flashes, depression,
vaginal itching/pain, lack of libido) and andropause in men (tiredness, lack of
libido, impotence, inability to ejaculate, loss of muscle mass or tone, difficulty
loosing weight, weight gain, lack of motivation).
When hormones need to be replaced - Hormone Replacement Therapy - HRT, it
is recommended to use bio-identical hormones. Bio-Identical Hormone
Replacement Therapy, BHRT, (with the exemption of HGH which is still under
study in the bio-identical form). These hormones are identical to the chemical
structure of human hormones (as opposed to synthetics, or the ones from horses
or other animals, like Premarin). The followings are the most common hormones
replaced for anti-aging purposes:
Growth Hormone (HGH)
Thyroid
Melatonin
Cortisol
Female Sex Hormones (estrogens, progesterone, testosterone)
Male Sex Hormones (testosterone, estrogens, DHT and progesterone)
Pregnenolone
DHEA
