Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement
Because of their ability to achieve favorable results without the harmful side effects of synthetic hormone therapy, bioidentical hormone therapy treatments have continuously increased in popularity over the last twenty years. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are derived from natural resources like yams and soy. They are also intended to be fundamentally identical to natural hormones made within the human body, hence the term, “bio-identical”. Because it is so replicable, the effectiveness of the treatment is significantly higher.
Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) is a safer, more effective alternative to synthetic hormones, as it carries less risk of negative side effects on clinical outcomes related to breast health, bone health, and cardiovascular and brain function than synthetic hormones do. Because of their safety and usefulness, bioidentical hormone therapy is quickly increasing in popularity not only in the United States, but in countries all over the globe.
