Bio- identical hormones are reproductive steroid hormones, such as estrogen or progesterone, used in menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). The term “bio-identical” means the hormones in the MHT product are chemically identical to those your body produces.
Bio-identical hormones can be easily recognized and used by our bodies so the effects are more consistent with our natural biochemistry. As well there is a smaller risk of unpredictable side effects than with synthetic or non-bio-identical hormones.
There are FDA approved bio-identical hormones that are safe and effective, but there is no evidence to date that bio-identical hormones are more effective or safer than synthetic hormones. There are also FDA approved natural hormones that are derived from plants.
