What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical Hormones and Your Body

There is confusion over exactly what Bioidentical Hormones are and their use and effect on the body. Bioidentical Hormones are chemically and functionally identical to human hormones and are derived from plants, such as yam or soy. The body has the necessary enzymes to break down and metabolize these hormones. Bioidentical Hormones are designed to produce the same responses in the body as hormones made by the human body.

Restoring and balancing hormones with Bioidentical Hormones is an individualized approach to hormone replacement. Bioidentical Hormones are custom made for each patient at special pharmacies and are available only by physician prescription.
