What is BHRT?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), also known as natural hormone therapy, which is a term referring to the use of hormones that are identical on a molecular level with endogenous hormones in hormone replacement therapy.

Bio-identical hormones are a precise reproduction of the hormones that are naturally made by the body.

Estrogen Hormone

Estrogens are hormones, which means that they function as signaling molecules.

Contrary to popular belief, both women and men create estrogen. In women, estrogen—along with progesterone—plays a key role in mood, sexual development, ovulation and lactation after pregnancy, and prevention of heart disease.

In men, when estrogen levels are low or unbalanced, the risk of stroke and heart disease soars.

Progesterone Hormone

Progesterone is indeed a female hormone, but it is also present in small amounts in the male brain. Progesterone is also made in the ovary but at a different time in the menstrual cycle.

Progesterone has two main target tissues:

It maintains the thickened lining of the endometrium in the uterus ready for implantation. Progesterone also causes the pituitary gland to stop secreting the hormones FSH and LH so a new cycle is never started. It is for this reason that progesterone can be used in women as a contraceptive pill.

Testosterone Hormone

Testosterone is a male sex hormone that is important for sexual and reproductive development.

Women also produce testosterone, but at lower levels than men.

Testosterone belongs to a class of male hormones called androgens, which are sometimes called steroids or anabolic steroids.

DHEA Hormone

Dehydroepiandrosterone is also called as DHEA and it is an adrenal steroid hormone in the body.

It is also one of the most reliable bio-markers of aging.

It is made by the adrenal glands and is then converted to androgens, estrogens and other hormones.

It is produced by the body naturally and also the most abundant steroid hormone found in the human bod
