Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Natural hormone restoration using hormones identical to your body's own
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by your body. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones fit perfectly into your body's hormone receptors, allowing for optimal function with minimal side effects.
The term "bioidentical" means these hormones have the exact same chemical structure as the hormones your ovaries, testes, adrenal glands, and other organs produce. This precise match allows your body to recognize and utilize them the same way it would your own hormones.
Bioidentical vs. Synthetic Hormones
Synthetic hormones (like Premarin or Provera) have a different molecular structure than human hormones. While they can produce some hormonal effects, they don't perfectly match your body's receptors and can cause more side effects. Bioidentical hormones, being identical to your natural hormones, are processed by your body the same way it handles its own hormone production.
