Women's Bio-identical Hormone Therapy

What is Bio-idential Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is treatment that is effective in treating hormone imbalances in women as they age. Bioidentical hormones are designed to mimic what the body naturally produces. When you use bioidentical hormones, the cells of your body recognize them as familiar and know how to put them to best use. The hormones are produced from plants (specifically a plant molecule called “diosgenin”, that is found in wild yams). This specific molecule does not trigger the negative side effects associated with synthetic hormones. Hormones can be delivered through a topical cream, subdermal pellets, orally, or by injection. At Hormone Health Inverness, we compound hormones to be specific to the patient’s individual needs.
