Bio-identical hormones are hormones that are equivalent to the hormones that are produced by the human body. Whereas synthetic hormones may be from a natural source they are not as similar to the hormones humans naturally produce. Bio-identical hormones are derived from plant-based ingredients that have an equivalent chemical configuration of human hormones.

Not only do bio-identical hormones have fewer side effects than synthetic hormones but they also have more benefits. For example a bio-identical hormone therapist has more control over the dosage and regulation of bio-identical hormone therapy. However, synthetic hormones are generally produced by pharmaceutical companies for distribution to the general patient leaving little room for customization for your specific needs. Pellet therapy aids in this personal approach to hormone therapy because the bio-identical hormones are available and delivered as they are needed according to the individual’s body. In addition pellet therapy offers the benefit of convenience because they are placed in your body there is no need for daily treatment.
