Bio-identical hormones are derived from plants and possess a similar chemical structure as the hormones produced by the human body. BHRT involves the use of bio-identical hormones that must match the original chemical structure of the hormone.
According to the researchers, there is a significant difference between the natural hormones (bio-identical) and synthetic preparations including those derived from animals. Sidechains are added to natural compounds to create synthetic substances that can be copyrighted by a manufacturer. There are structural differences between human, animal, and synthetic hormones. So, when non-bioidentical hormones are used for replacement therapy it can lead to side effects. Modern women prefer natural hormones according to a survey. Out of 1009 women aged 40 and about, 83% conveyed their preference for bio-identical hormones.
The key components of bio-identical hormones are Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), Estriol (E3), Progesterone, Testosterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and Pregnenolone. The composition of individual female hormones is analyzed through physical investigation, laboratory tests, and medical history. At our lab, we custom compound each bio-identical hormone prescription according to the instructions of the prescriber. We provide compounding bio-identical preparations as micronized powders in the forms of oral capsules, transdermal creams or gels, sublingual troches or tabs, vaginal or rectal suppositories, etc. We carefully monitor the appropriate dosage regulation.
