Bioidentical Hormones are hormones that are designed to mimic the natural hormones produced by the body. These hormones are derived from plant sources. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) refers to the use of bioidentical hormones to treat hormone imbalances of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Bioidentical hormones can be prescribed in a variety of forms including creams, pills, patches, or injections.
