Why 2010 Will Be The Year You First Hear About Bio Identical Hormones.

This is the year of bio identical hormones breaking through in the media. Last year bio identical hormones really started to take off, with a wider cultural awareness, and this year, they are truly going to hit the mainstream. Why is that, exactly? We’ve gone out and discovered 4 principal reasons for it happening. Check them out below.

#4: They Can’t Be Patented.

One big reason that these drugs are becoming more and more widely known is because they’re unique — both unique in a market position and unique in a biological sense. As they aren’t specially made pharmaceutical drugs that can be patented, there are no big profits for the big companies, making bio identical hormones more appealing to many.

#3: Natural, whatever it is – is Very Much ‘In’ Right Now.

Just like locally grown food, beyond-organic produce, and sustainable living, eliminating ‘processed’ things in all walks of life is a new and growing interest, especially in the USA. Standard hormone replacement therapy is seen as synthetic and ‘false’ when compared to bio identical hormones.

#2: Awareness is Reaching a Tipping Point. What does this mean?

Malcolm Gladwell popularized this term — the “tipping point” — when a certain item moves from being slightly known by a smaller population to being more widely known by a large population, to reach a point “of no return” when it comes to awareness. That’s what’s happening with bio identical hormones.

#1: Oprah Winfrey is Taking Bio Identical Hormones.

Oprah is such a crucial cultural figure that anything she talks about or endorses can become extremely prevalent in the culture. It happened, for better or worse, with the acai berry, but now it’s happening in a good way with bio identical hormone replacement therapy.
