A member asked:
Are bioidentical hormones better than regular hormones?
15 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: A hormone is a chemical produced in the human body by a gland that has an action in another place in the body. Some work on bone, some on the brain, some on sugar and others in sleep, anxiety, libido and more. Each hormone has a specific chemical structure able to fit in a specific receptor like a lock and key. Bio identical hormones are an exact copy of the original human hormone.

Yes. : Bioidentical hormones are hormones produced in a laboratory to be identical in chemical structure to what the body would produce. Many doctors, including myself, consider them safer and more effective than non-bioidentical hormones.
