• The term “natural” hormones has come to designate hormones that are also called “biological-identical”. “Synthetic” hormones refer to those that are manufactured with a chemical configuration that is not possible in the human body but mimics some of the native hormonal activity. These definitions do not reflect the dictionary meaning of these terms but refers to the general use of them.
