Bioidentical Hormone

Daily I am asked, "What are Bioidentical Hormones" and "How can they help me?". Over the last decade bioidentical hormones have been brought into the spotlight by such stars as Suzanne Summers and Oprah Winfrey after their personal hormone struggles, which lead to recovery with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Simply put, BHRT is the use of natural hormones (derived from soy or yam) that corrects the imbalance in the human body and causes symptom relief. BHRT is derived via a more "natural" method from plants and matches human molecules identically, versus HRT which is derived from impregnated horse urine and does not match molecules in the human body.
 
Men and women can both be affected by hormone imbalance and symptoms vary. Symptoms of hormone deficiency can be mild to severe and in most cases can be eliminated! For more information on symptoms of hormone disorder please visit http://www.zrtlab.com/hormone-testing/symptoms-of-hormone-imbalance.html for symptom checker. I look forward to working with you to restore your hormones!
