Can’t I Get Some of These Products at a Health Food Store or Costco?

Yes. You can. However, these medications may have several problems.

1) The dose available Over-The-Counter (OTC) is often much lower than that of the prescribed variety. That’s why they don’t require a prescription and are available OTC. These lower doses don’t produce a measurable difference in blood tests.

2) The OTC medications may be larger in size and not absorbed as well. The pure pharmaceutical grade ingredients from the compounding pharmacy are micronized, which is fine grain and is well absorbed.

3) The OTC products may be quick-release, quick-acting, and/or poorly absorbed. These are dosed multiple times per day. The natural hormones from a compounding pharmacy can be prescribed as a long-acting, or Sustained Release version, which gives a steady release over the course of 24 hours.

4) The quality of the OTC medications may be substandard as the base ingredients are often obtained overseas.

5) The actual amount of the OTC ingredients may vary considerably from the amount stated on the label.

6) The OTC products come in standard dosages, while those from a compounding pharmacy can be customized to your specific needs.
