io-identical hormone therapy is a way to replenish hormone levels in a fashion that is an exact duplicate of the hormones naturally produced by your body. These substances are professionally compounded based on your personal levels, to give you the precise hormones your body needs – no more, no less. They are the closest match available to the body’s form of estradiol and testosterone, eliminating the problems associated with synthetic hormones that are not as biocompatible. Bio-identical hormone therapy started to be of interest shortly after the turn of the century, when studies began to indicate that synthetic hormone therapy was associated with an elevated risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Despite the benefits offered by these medications, women began to seek more natural, less hazardous ways to counter the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause. This is the climate in which bio-identical hormone therapy came into its own.
