What are bioidentical hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are substances that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones produced by the human body itself. They are usually extracted from vegetable raw materials, such as soy or yam, and then processed in such a way that they work exactly the same way as the body's own estrogen, progesterone or testosterone.

The use of bioidentical hormones is often used to restore hormonal imbalance, for example during menopause. Unlike synthetic hormones, bio-identical variants are better recognized by the body and usually produce fewer side effects. Treatment is tailored to individual needs and based on laboratory testing of hormone levels.
