What are hormones made from?
The bio-identical hormones such as estradiol, progesterone and testosterone are derived from the wild Mexican yam or soy. These molecules are then chemically modified to exact replicas of human hormones. The hormone HCG is human-derived, and HGH is produced using recombinant DNA technology. In every case, these hormones fit the receptors in exactly the same way as the hormones in your body today.
