How are Bioidentical Hormones made?
[top] Bioidentical hormones are made in a laboratory and are based on compounds found in plants like soy beans or wild yams. Unlike supplements containing soy or wild yam extract, bioidentical hormones are processed by a highly trained compounding pharmacist. Compounding pharmacist provide medications that have a customized formulation to meet a patient’s specific health care needs. Since these plant-based hormones are identical to the hormones produced naturally by one’s body, our bodies can metabolize them naturally as it was designed to do, with minimal or no bioidentical hormones risks or side effects. These hormones come in various forms including tablets, under the skin pellets, creams, gels, and nasal sprays.
