Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones derived from plants that are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the human body. These plant-derived chemicals undergo a process called micronization. This is used in pharmaceuticals to reduce the particle size, especially increasing the surface area of the hormone particle of a substance. This enhances their effectiveness and absorption by the body’s tissue in an attempt to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances. As a result, bioidentical hormones closely mimic the body’s natural hormones, often leading to fewer side effects and risks compared to synthetic hormones.

At Women’s Wellness MD, we only prescribe bioidentical HRT that is sourced from FDA-approved ingredients and have shown to be effective and reliable for symptom relief.
