Bioidentical hormones, sometimes referred to as natural hormones, are hormones with the exact same molecular make-up as the sex hormones produced by the ovaries or testes. Bioidentical hormones are an effective class of medications that are approved by the FDA and have been available for decades in the USA and Europe.
Because they are identical to the hormones naturally found in the body, bioidentical hormones fit perfectly with the body’s hormone receptors, producing identical physiologic responses.
