Bioidentical hormones are naturally occurring hormones that can be compounded to replicate the exact molecular structure of hormones found in the human body. These hormones are composed of plant-based estrogens, progesterones, testosterone, and other hormones derived from yams or soybeans.
The use of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has become a popular alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapies. BHRT is an individualized approach to treating hormonal imbalances that uses customized doses designed to meet specific needs and provide relief from menopausal symptoms.
All bioidentical hormones have a precise chemical structure that is identical to the body’s own hormones. This makes them safer than traditional synthetic hormone treatments as they have been proven not to cause side effects such as weight gain, mood swings, or breast tenderness.
Bioidentical hormones may include estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, pregnenolone and others depending on the individual patient’s needs. Each bioidentical hormone is made using a unique process of extracting natural ingredients from plants such as yams or soybeans then purified and prepared for use in therapeutic treatments by specially trained compounding pharmacists familiar with BHRT processes.
The advantage of using Bioidentical Hormones instead of conventional synthetic forms is that due to their exact match in chemical structure, they act more like the natural hormones they replace while minimizing potential risks associated with synthetic versions. In addition, compounds can be tailored specifically for each person's age, medical history and symptoms which allow for individualized dosages that achieve optimal results with fewer side effects than synthetic alternatives.
