Bioidentical Therapies

Meaning

Bioidentical therapies utilize exogenous hormones that are chemically and structurally identical to those naturally produced by the human body, such as estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. The core clinical distinction lies in the molecular structure, which allows these agents to bind and activate endogenous hormone receptors with physiological fidelity. This approach is rooted in the principle of replacement to restore youthful or optimal endocrine levels lost due to aging or pathology. Clinical application demands precise dosing and careful monitoring to mimic the body’s natural hormonal milieu.
