The term "bio-identical" denotes hormones that are structurally
identical to the endogenous (natural) hormones of the human body: estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and pregnenolone.
Because bio-identical hormones are natural, they are not patentable. It
must be pointed out that natural hormones aren't always bio-identical.
"Natural" merely refers to the source of the hormone or drug. Hormone
replacement becomes necessary during pre-menopause and menopause to
alleviate the symptoms of decreased hormone production by your body.
Your whole body benefits from using hormone replacement including
prevention of osteoporosis, heart disease, dementia, depression,
anxiety, and much more!
