What we refer to as “estrogen” should more appropriately be called “estrogens.” The three main estrogens produced by the female human body are Estriol (E3), Estradiol (E2), and Estrone (E1). Each of these hormones have unique effects on human cells.
Manufactured hormone replacement is based either on horse urine or fragmented, single-estrogen products. Bio-Identical Hormone replacement is a therapy that is based upon the naturally occurring hormones in the female body and is only available from compounding pharmacies.
We use plant-based phytoestrogens, which have been modified to be identical to the hormones that your body produces (hence the term bio-identical). We then make products that are based upon your unique physiologic profile. Additionally, because of the flexibility that compounding provides, we are able to individualize your dose if you suffer from side effects. Bio-identical hormone replacement is something you might want to consider when you are approaching “the change.”
In addition to estrogens, we also compound medications containing bio-identical progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. This wide range of potential ingredients, as well as our ability to individualize doses truly allows us to tailor the product to your needs.
Who Can Benefit?
Women experiencing symptoms related to menopause, perimenopause, or other hormonal imbalances may benefit from customized hormone therapy. BHRT may also support women facing fertility challenges or those seeking alternatives to commercially available hormone replacement.
