Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can be best described as the use of hormones to help with symptoms related to a hormonal imbalance and a decline in hormone production which can be tied back to aging. There are many specific hormone treatments that are known as "bioidentical" or considered "natural" due to the hormones being chemically identical to the hormones that are produced regularly by the human body.


Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy targets very specific hormones that are specifically tied to reproduction and youth including adrenal hormones, estrogen, progesterone and in some cases testosterone. As the years pass leading up to a woman's menopause period and through this process, a woman's body produces less of these hormones especially when it comes to the hormone estrogen. Symptoms can include feeling of weakness, night sweats, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and the thinning of the bones. There are a variety of hormone therapy products that are used in the market to bypass the symptoms, many of which have been approved by the FDA and many that have not been approved. Treatments for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy come in many different forms. This would include tablets, sprays, gels, injections, lotions and even creams. The main purpose is to raise hormone levels back to a state of youthfulness.
