Bio Identical Hormone
Bio-identical hormones are compounds that are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Derived from plant sources such as soy or yam, these hormones are often used in hormone replacement therapy to alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalances, particularly in menopause or andropause. Because they closely resemble the body’s own hormones, bio-identical hormones are believed to offer a more natural and personalized approach to hormone therapy, potentially reducing the risk of side effects.
How it Works:
Bio-identical hormones are compounds that closely mimic the molecular structure of hormones naturally produced in the human body. When introduced into the body through hormone replacement therapy, they bind to hormone receptors and exert effects similar to those of endogenous hormones. By restoring hormonal balance, bio-identical hormones can alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalances such as hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue, improving overall well-being.
What it Treats:
Bio-identical hormone therapy treats symptoms of menopause, andropause, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, adrenal fatigue, hormone-related mood disorders, and supports bone health.
Treatment Benefits:
The treatment benefits of bio-identical hormone therapy include alleviation of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings, improvement in libido and sexual function, relief from symptoms of andropause in men, regulation of hormonal imbalances, support for thyroid function, reduction in symptoms of adrenal fatigue, improvement in mood disorders, and maintenance of bone health to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
