Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can supplement deficient hormones and correct hormonal imbalances to help men and women regain optimal levels of health. Because hormones support countless functions in the body, insufficiencies can cause a variety of health problems. Bioidentical Hormones are identical in molecular structure and function to the hormones that are produced in the human body, and they can replace or modulate hormones that have been lost or increased due to pollution, aging or stress. Bioidentical Hormones are unique in that they are made from plant sources, such as yams, and they are easily accepted into the body because of their identical structures.
