Bioidentical hormones are synthetic hormones that have the same chemical and molecular structure as hormones produced in the human body. They are used as a form of hormone replacement therapy to alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalances such as hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased libido in both men and women.
Examples of Bioidentical Hormones
Estradiol: This is the primary estrogen hormone produced in the ovaries of women. Estradiol can be administered topically, orally, or through injections.
Progesterone: This hormone is produced in the ovaries of women during pregnancy. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle and plays a role in the development of the fetus. Progesterone can be administered topically or orally.
Testosterone: This hormone is primarily produced in men but also present in women in smaller amounts. Testosterone plays a crucial role in sexual function and muscle development. It can be administered topically or through injections.
DHEA: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced in the adrenal gland. It is converted to testosterone and estrogen in the body and plays a role in maintaining bone density and cognitive function. DHEA can be administered topically or orally.

Bioidentical hormones have several benefits over synthetic hormones. They are better tolerated by the body and have fewer side effects. Additionally, bioidentical hormones can be tailored to meet individual patient needs, ensuring optimal results.
