WHAT ARE BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES ?
Bio-Identical hormones have the same chemical structure as hormones that are made by the human body. They are derived from plant sources (yams or soy), yet they are identical in chemical structure to the hormones produced by the human body.
Synthetic "conventional" hormones, such as Premarin or PremPro, have been chemically altered and therefore are not identical to the hormones found in the human body. The stucture of these hormones may be responsible for the side effects that are experienced when using "conventional" synthetiic hormone replacement therapy.
BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY is available in various dosages and delivery systems. At Pioneer Health Compounding Pharmacy, we work together with patients and practitioners to meet each individual's needs. Each prescription is tailored made to the patient based upon a thorough analysis of expressed symptoms and hormone level test results.
BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY is not limited to estrogen replacement in fact it may include:
Estriol Estradiol Estrone
Testosterone Progesterone DHEA
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is not a "magic pill," but rather one of the components of a multi-faceted approach to hormone balance which also includes nutritional products and diet management.
BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY PRACTITIONERS
Pioneer Health can refer you to a physician who specializes in BHRT. He/she will request testing, analyze the results and prepare a prescription. If you choose to consult with one of these practitioners, Pioneer Health Compounding Pharmacy would remain an integral part of your hormone balancing team. While we do not endorse any one practitioner, as we work with many, the following is a list of those who have completed specialty training in hormone balancing.
