What are biologically identical hormones?
The Clear Sky Medical Difference
There are significant differences between bio-identical hormones and synthetic hormones, which are not natural to the human body but are regularly prescribed and may pose risks to your health
Bio-Identical hormones have the same molecular chemical structure as hormones made by the human body. They can fully replicate natural human hormones and follow normal metabolic pathways so that essential active metabolites can be formed. Bio-identical hormones are compounded by specially trained pharmacists into lozenges, capsules or creams or come as generics in form of caps tablets and patches or can be administered via pellets. Which form is right for you needs to be evaluated as it depends on your medical history and your age.
Pharmaceutical companies sometimes alter hormones chemically to resemble natural hormones so they can be patented and profitably mass-produced. This chemical alteration makes these kinds of synthetic hormones unable to function like natural human hormones and they are not what the body is familiar with or needs. These foreign substances to our bodies can cause a wide array of health problems and side effects. Discover healthy aging and preserve an active and youthful lifestyle through Bio- Identical Hormone Therapy. Restore normal hormone levels to their youthful levels and reverse many of the symptoms and signs and risks associated with aging.
This specialty is not taught in medical schools or residencies; therefore, doctors need to go through extra training to learn how administer the right kind of therapeutic regimen of Bio-Identical Hormones for your personal needs and benefits. Dr. Meier has extensive training and experience in Bio-Identical Hormones and has used this therapy in her office since 2006 and is an authority in this field.
