What are bioidentical hormones? These are hormones that are extracted from a natural source such as yams and soy and are refined in a lab so that they are identical, molecule for molecule, to the human hormone molecule.
   Our bodies contain the exact enzymes to metabolize them properly making them very effective in hormone replacement therapy.
What is the difference between synthetic hormones and bioidentical hormones? Because they are not identical to the human hormone molecule, the different chemical structure is often not effective and can result in side effects.

Which doctors can prescribe bioidentical hormone therapy? These days many doctors and general practitioners are prescribing them for hormone replacement therapy.
Should I take any other supplements? It is always recommended that women take vitamins and minerals, anti-oxidants and essential omega 3 fatty acids, along with calcium, magnesium to support the body during menopause.
  This will help prevent excessive symptoms such as hot flashes and also prevent osteoporosis.
