WHAT IS BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is derived from natural plants (not synthetic) and has the exact same chemical structure as the hormones found naturally in humans. As a result, the body recognizes the hormones and allows them to act as if the body produced these hormones on its own.
WHY BHRT?
There are numerous mass-produced synthetic hormone treatments available on the market. However, every woman’s body is different and responds differently to treatments; what works for someone else might not work for you. Your body may need a different concentration of hormones that isn’t currently available on the market. Compounded BHRT means that we can create combinations of various hormones at individualized concentrations into one formulation to fit your body’s needs. We can also provide your hormones in a variety of formulations, including creams, capsules, troches, sublingual drops, or vaginal suppositories.
WHAT ARE SOME COMMON BHRT MEDICATIONS?
- Estradiol
- Estriol
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- DHEA
- Pregnenolone
