Hormone Replacement Therapy
Like pharmacy compounding, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is the art of preparing customized prescriptions.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy medicine is customized to specifically fit your body’s hormone levels and restore any imbalance.
Bioidentical hormones are natural, compounded preparations that have a structure identical to the hormones produced in your body. Bioidentical hormones have the exact chemical structure as the hormones your body requires. They are used to treat an imbalance and bring them back to their normal level. The body recognizes them and allows them to mimic the function of the hormones the body produces on its own.
How It Works
We work closely with you and your healthcare provider to help you start and maintain a bioidentical hormone replacement regimen. This regimen will bring your hormones back into balance and closely mimic what your body has been doing naturally for years. With your healthcare provider’s consent, we can prepare hormones in a variety of strengths and dosage forms. With BHRT, your levels can be measured through lab testing to ensure your dosage is producing properly balanced levels.
