Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels often decline, leading to undesirable symptoms. Replacing diminishing hormones with bioidentical versions can provide immense relief by restoring optimal hormonal balance.
Balance Health Clinic specializes in personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). We create customized treatment plans featuring body-matching hormones in physiological dosages to replenish your unique hormonal needs. BHRT safely alleviates troublesome symptoms due to menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, and other hormone imbalances.
The term "bioidentical" means the chemical structure precisely matches human hormones. They are sourced from high-quality pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and are biochemically indistinguishable from the estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and other regulatory hormones produced within your body.
Unlike conventional synthetic hormones commonly found in traditional hormone replacement methods, which can create unwanted side effects, bioidentical hormones are naturally recognized and utilized by hormone receptor sites throughout the body and brain. This biological compatibility makes BHRT extremely effective at relieving signs and symptoms of hormonal decline with minimal risks.
Balance Health Clinic custom-blends bioidentical hormone solutions tailored to your individual biochemistry, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. Formulations are prepared on-site under strict pharmaceutical standards. You receive quality prescription therapies with dosages and delivery methods designed just for you.
