With age comes wisdom, but with age also come the symptoms of hormone imbalance.
For women these may include hot flashes, weight gain, PMS, mood swings, foggy memory, night sweats, depression, bone loss, fatigue, low libido and vaginal dryness.

For men, hormone imbalance brings erectile dysfunction, hair loss, muscle loss, low libido, fatigue, heart palpitations, insomnia, depression and anxiety.

Most patients have a combination of these and other symptoms. The severity can range from mildly annoying to debilitating.

But there is another option: bioidentical hormones.

How are bioidentical hormones different from synthetic hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are physiologically identical to the hormones our own bodies produce. The subcutaneous pellet implant is, in fact, one of the oldest and most researched hormone delivery methods in use.1 This approach to HRT most closely simulates the body’s own hormone delivery method in that it circulates physiologic amounts of hormone in the bloodstream around-the-clock.

Synthetic, or artificial, hormones are not biologically identical to human hormones. They are not natural to the system and some should be concerned about the known health complications associated with the regular use of synthetic HRT.

Benefits of Bioidentical Hormones
There are many reasons why patients and hormone specialists prefer bioidentical hormones to synthetic.

  • They are biologically identical to the hormones found in the human body and are metabolized in the exact same way as our body’s naturally-produced hormones. Even artificial hormones produced from “natural” sources (such as the urine of pregnant mares used in the manufacture of Premarin®) are not the same type of hormone found in the human body, and therefore are not metabolized in the same way.
  • Bioidentical hormone dosages can be tailored to an individual’s needs, whereas synthetic hormones are often a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • A large body of evidence and research has shown bioidentical hormones to be safe, although they should always be used under the care of a specially trained physician.
