What is BHRT?
BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone therapy, and provides patients an alternative to the traditional hormone replacement therapy. Bioidentical hormones are prepared to have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by your body and are biologically identical to your own hormones. This minimizes side effects and maximizes wellness.
BHRT stands for Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Hormones used in BHRT are identical in chemical structure to those that the human body produces. They come from a plant source from which a substance called diosgenin is extracted and converted by enzymes in a laboratory to various bio-identical hormones. The process is very similar to the conversion of cholesterol to hormones in humans.
BHRT stands for Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Hormones used in BHRT are identical in chemical structure to those that the human body produces. They come from a plant source (either wild yam or soy). The process is very similar to the conversion of cholesterol to hormones in humans. How soon does BHRT work? Provided you have had the necessary blood (or preferably) saliva tests, and the BHRT has been formulated accordingly, you should notice a difference in your symptoms within a week or two. However, each person’s response is slightly different. Occasionally, the initial formula may have to be changed slightly. Patience and perseverance are required to achieve the desired result and the advantage of this program is our willingness and ability to work with you on an ongoing basis to make a prescription specifically tailored for you, rather than use a ready prepared synthetic preparation with a fixed formulation.
