BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES

Bio-identical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones in our bodies and are plant-based. Our bodies identify bio-identical hormones as its own hormones. In other words, bio-identical hormones function just like the hormones we should produce.

​

Bio-identical hormones have not demonstrated an increased risk of breast cancer and coronary heart disease compared to conventional synthetic hormones.

​

One of the best methods of optimizing bio-identical hormone therapy is through bio-identical pellet therapy. The BioTe pellet therapy is recommended, since the pellets are compliant to the FDA sterility process. Not all pellets are made the same way, and consistency of the BioTe pellets will optimize your long term health and well-being.
