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!

You are probably wondering why do we use the word, "bioidentical"? That's an excellent question. I can remember back when I was in first year medical school learning biochemistry at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Our class used Lehninger's classic textbook of biochemistry. Lehninger never used the word, bio-identical hormones, because all hormones are by definition, bioidentical hormones. They simply used the word, "hormone". Using a word like "bioidentical" was simply redundant and unnecessary for a biochemistry textbook, as it should be today.
ReplyDeleteWhy are the smart women switching to bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are safer and more effective than chemically altered synthetic hormones.
