BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY

 

Bioidentical hormone therapy (bHRT) can be safely used to augment estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and thyroid hormones during the menopausal transition and beyond. The forms of bHRT most commonly used include transdermal creams, capsules, lozenges and suppositories.

Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced in the body. These hormones are derived from natural sources, such as the Mexican Wild Yam, and then modified in a lab to match the chemical structure of human hormones.
