Bioidentical Hormones involves the use of
natural hormones to make up for the decline or lack of natural hormones produced
in a person's body. During the aging process, declining hormone levels can cause
a person to become overweight, lose muscle mass and skin elasticity, and become
easily fatigued. Bioidentical Hormones are available for both men and women.
Bioidentical
Hormone Replacement Therapy is the use of supplemental doses of naturally occurring
hormones, versus conventional hormone replacement therapy, which often involves
the use of chemicals and synthetics that have hormone activity but are not normally
found in the human body.
The term "Bioidentical" is used because
these hormones are chemically synthesized to be identical to the naturally occurring
hormones of the human body. Bioidentical Hormones are usually made from the components
of plants and are custom-mixed formulas containing various hormones that are chemically
identical to those naturally made by your body.
