Bioidentical Hormones

Meaning

Bioidentical Hormones are compounds that are chemically and structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body, such as estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. Clinically, these hormones are utilized in replacement therapies to alleviate symptoms associated with age-related decline or endocrine deficiencies. Because their molecular structure perfectly matches endogenous hormones, they are theorized to interact with cellular receptors in the same manner as the body’s own signaling molecules. They are distinct from conventional synthetic hormones which often possess altered chemical structures.
