BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES
What are Bio-Identical Hormones?
Bio-identical hormones are compounds that are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. They are used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to help restore hormonal balance when your body is no longer producing adequate levels on its own. Because their structure matches human hormones exactly, they can be more easily recognized and utilized by the body, often resulting in fewer side effects compared to synthetic alternatives.
What Causes Hormonal Imbalance?
Hormonal imbalance can occur for many reasons, often linked to natural aging or certain medical conditions. Common causes include:
- Menopause and Perimenopause in women, leading to a decrease in estrogen and progesterone
- Andropause in men, resulting in reduced testosterone levels
- Thyroid Disorders affecting metabolism and energy levels
- Chronic Stress impacting cortisol production
- Surgical removal of glands such as ovaries or testes
- Certain medications that interfere with hormone production
When hormone levels drop or fluctuate, you may experience symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, low libido, brain fog, and poor sleep quality.
How Can Compounding Help with Bio-Identical Hormones?
Compounding offers a personalized approach to bio-identical hormone therapy (BHRT). Unlike mass-produced hormone treatments, compounded bio-identical hormones can be customized to meet your specific needs. This includes:
- Tailored dosages based on lab results and symptoms
- Variety of delivery methods such as creams, gels, capsules, or sublingual drops
- Combination formulas to replace multiple hormones in a single preparation
- Allergen-free options without unnecessary fillers or additives
With compounding, your therapy can be precisely adjusted over time to maintain optimal hormonal balance and improve your overall well-being.

COMPOUNDING MEDICINE FOR BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES
Compounding medicine for bio-identical hormones offers a personalized approach by creating custom formulations that address each patient’s specific hormonal imbalances and wellness goals.
This tailored treatment can help restore optimal hormone levels, improve energy, enhance mood, and support overall health more effectively than standard, one-size-fits-all hormone therapies.
Bio-identical hormones are man-made hormones that are chemically identical to the ones naturally produced by your body. They are used in hormone replacement therapy to restore balance and alleviate symptoms caused by hormonal deficiencies or fluctuations.
Bio-identical hormones have the same molecular structure as the body’s own hormones, allowing for better compatibility and potentially fewer side effects than synthetic hormones, which often have structural differences.
Individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance—such as hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, low libido, weight gain, or difficulty sleeping—may benefit from bio-identical hormone therapy. It’s commonly used for women in menopause or perimenopause and men with low testosterone.
Compounding allows your pharmacist to customize your hormone therapy based on your lab results, symptoms, and preferences. This includes adjusting dosages, combining multiple hormones, and selecting your preferred delivery method.
