Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy is frequently used to treat symptoms associated with the natural decrease of
hormones in the body and to re-establish hormone balance. We offer a variety of bio-identical hormone
replacement therapy solutions, which are customized to meet each patient’s individual needs as determined by
their healthcare provider.
What is BHRT?
BHRT stands for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement. It is used to replace or help restore hormones in the body that are not being adequately made. Bioidentical means that the hormones you take are exactly identical to the hormones that are made in your body. BHRT is often confused with HRT. HRT stands for hormone replacement therapy. HRT encompasses all hormone replacement, bioidentical or synthetic. Meaning HRT may not involve bioidentical hormones. For example, taking Premarin for menopause used to be commonly prescribed. But Premarin is not a bioidentical hormone because it is actually hormones from horses (pregnant horse mare’s urine to be exact).
So if you are on HRT, make sure to find out that it actually is bioidentical BHRT. If the hormones look exactly like the hormones that we make in our bodies, means it will work exactly as it was intended in the body. This can reduce the side effects and risk factors. I have been treating patients with HRT since 2010, and I have seen they have a much better response to BHRT than non-bio-identical HRT.
