Bio-Identical Hormone Therapies

Meaning

Bio-identical Hormone Therapies (BHT) involve the use of exogenous hormones that are chemically and structurally identical to those naturally produced by the human body, such as estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. These compounds are synthesized from plant sources and precisely match the molecular structure of endogenous hormones, allowing for optimal receptor binding and physiological action. The clinical goal of BHT is to restore circulating hormone levels to a state of youthful equilibrium, thereby mitigating symptoms associated with age-related endocrine decline. Precise clinical monitoring and individualized dosing are cornerstones of this therapeutic approach.
