What are bioidentical hormones?

The last decade woke up the consciousness of sustainable development and the need to preserve fresh water, food, healthy thoughts, but our body as well. We want to get rid of everything that contains the word ‘synthetic’ , or is not ‘bio’ or ‘eco-friendly’.

People who practice healthy living rather choose natural cures and are skeptical towards synthetic drugs. The same applies for hormones. Most people rather buy herbs, that enhance the hormone system, than start to take the hormone that they lack. It is due to the fact that they don’t know enough about the hormone origin and the side effects. Hormone theraphies used similar (bio-different) hormones, which not only didn’t help a lot, but sometimes even triggered negative side effects. By using bioidentical hormones, we do not harm our own original hormone system. These hormones are mostly not consumed orally, but through gels and creams which enter out blood flow through skin and therefore remain rather unchanged. By applying the therapy through skin, it can be very well dosed and is individual for every patient. The hormones used in this therapy are carefully made for each patient respectively considering his needs, so the bioidentical hormone therapy can bring the best results possible.
