Bio-Identical Hormones

Meaning

Bio-Identical Hormones are compounds that are chemically and structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body, such as estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. Unlike synthetic hormones, these substances bind to hormone receptors in the body in the same manner as the endogenous hormones, facilitating a precise physiological response. Clinically, they are utilized in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to address deficiencies and restore hormonal balance. The use of bio-identical forms is a cornerstone of precision endocrinology aimed at optimizing health.
