Bioidentical Hormones
Bioidentical hormones are compounds that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. They are often derived from plant sources and are used to treat hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause or andropause. Common bioidentical hormones include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
These hormones are available in various forms, such as creams, gels, and pills, allowing for personalized treatment options. While some people report benefits from using bioidentical hormones, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional to discuss potential risks and benefits, as well as to determine the appropriate dosage and method of administration.
