Bio-identical Hormone Therapy

Understanding Bio-Identical Hormones

Bio-identical hormones are plant-derived hormones that are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the human body. They are a natural, safe, and effective alternative to synthetic hormones, offering relief from peri-menopausal symptoms without the risks associated with conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The most prescribed hormones are progesteron, estrogen and testosterone.
