Differences in Synthetic and Bio-Identical Hormones
Bioidentical Hormones are natural plant based hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones your body produce. Historically, synthetic hormones such as synthetic estrogen, progestin, or testosterone that were utilized for hormone replacement therapy, have been shown to increase health risks. These risks include heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, or liver problems. Evidence based medicine proves that bio-identical hormones prescribed in individualized doses are in fact safer and more effective than synthetic hormones.
