Deciding Between Hormone Replacement and Natural Supplementation

By Ben Mester


Because of the fact the hormones in the body are so complex, it's difficult to control them with just oral supplements. If a person were to take a compound like growth hormone, for instance, in tablet form, when it got to the stomach, the digestive system would break it down into its fundamental components, and those components would be absorbed and utilized for whatever job the body saw fit.

In order for an individual to directly boost levels of hormones in their blood stream, they generally have to undergo hormone replacement treatment of some sort, which as the name implies, essentially puts hormones directly into the blood stream. But many people are cautious about undergoing this type of procedure unless its absolutely necessary.

The body occasionally just needs a better supply of building blocks. That's why, before undergoing hormone replacement therapy, many persons first try taking natural supplements that encourage the body to manufacture the complex chemicals it's having an insufficiency in. If you have an interest in this, perform a little research on the precursors to the particular hormone you're experiencing an inadequacy in.

Many specific amino acids act as precursors to lots of different hormones and other complicated body chemicals, and when taken in supplement form, can help the body to build more of those said hormones. Of course, the issue isn't always with the creation of the hormones. In a few cases, the issue lies with the release of the hormones.

Many glands can be found in the body that release hormones into the blood stream when stimulated, hormones like human growth hormone. Sometimes, the glands have an ample supply of the hormone in question but are not being stimulated to release enough of it into the blood stream. Sometimes poor habits can cause an inadequacy in the releasing of specific hormones, and sometimes the gland in question can also be experiencing a condition or disease. So try and find out the particular nature of your deficiency.
