Biological Hormone Therapy

Sometimes called natural hormones or human identical hormones, biologically identical hormones are derived from plants and are chemically and functionally identical to human hormones. The key in distinguishing what is “natural,” is not where the hormone originated, but whether its chemical make-up matches the one it is intended to replace. Biologically identical hormones are believed to produce the same physiologic responses in the body as endogenous hormones (those made by the body).

A hormone (from Greek ὁρμή - "impetus") is a chemical released by one or more cells that affects cells in other parts of the organism. 

 

Substances that are most similar to what our body produces naturally are thought to support human functioning without increased risk of allergic reactions and sensitivities. An often overlooked aspect of biologically identical HRT is that it may vastly improve the quality of life for women suffering from a wide range of physicial, mental and emotional symptoms. Biologically identical hormones can be prepared by a compounding pharmacy in dosages and various administration forms to suit each individual patient.
