Posted by admin on October 27, 2011 in Health with No Comments


Bio identical hormone replacement has achieved tremendous success in in the past 6 years. This therapy is not limited to a single specialization. It covers a wide range of medical fields like gynecology, cardiology, dermatology, neurology and osteology etc. This therapy uses bio identical hormones. These hormones are manufactured in a pharmaceutical lab to have a similar molecular structure as the hormones made by our own body have.

Steroid hormones including pregnenolone, DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, estrone, estradiol, and estriol are formed in the body from cholesterol which is produced in the liver. Most of this hormone production happens in the adrenal glands and ovaries. Some estrogen is formed and stored in fatty tissues.

Each of these hormones has definite functions in the body.

Some of these, like progesterone and DHEA, also serve as transitional precursors for the estrogens and testosterone. Progesterone is also an antecedent of aldosterone, which helps in controlling fluid and sodium balance.

Following are the benefits that you must know to make a sensible decision for your physical and emotional well being:

  • Bio identical hormones match your own hormones exactly i.e. they are matching.
  • They don’t interfere with your own hormone production.
  • They leave the body more quickly than synthetics, and don’t pose the same long-term health problems and risks.
  • When used in correct dosage, they are free from the side effects of standard HRT drugs.
  • They can be individualized and custom tailored to meet individual hormone needs.

Unlike progestin, natural progesterone doesn’t hold back the benefits of estrogen on lowering cholesterol, doesn’t cause you to bleed for the duration of use of HRT, protects against breast cancer, reduces risks of endometrial cancer and can ease premenopausal and menopausal symptoms.
