What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are compounds that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Unlike synthetic hormones, which may have different chemical structures, bioidentical hormones are derived from natural sources, such as soy or yams, and are formulated to match the body’s hormones precisely. This similarity allows for more predictable effects and potentially fewer side effects.

3. Improved Overall Health: In addition to symptom relief, balanced hormones can positively impact various aspects of health, including bone density, muscle mass, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health.
4. Natural Approach: Many patients prefer bioidentical hormones because they are derived from natural sources and designed to work harmoniously with the body’s existing hormonal systems.
