What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), also called natural hormone replacement therapy, is the supplemental use of Bioidentical hormones to replace and balance one's hormones to help attain a balance among various hormones.

Bioidentical hormones are exactly the same, "identical" hormones, molecule per molecule that the body produces. They come from non human sources, but are still considered natural to the body because they are identical biologically to human hormones and so they help to rebalance hormone levels in a safe and natural way.

Imbalanced hormone levels can become increasingly complex, because sometimes the level of a hormone is not as important as its ratio to the other hormones. This is why conversations with a healthcare practitioner will be about "balancing" hormones rather than merely increasing them.

Conversely, synthetic hormone drugs do not mimic your body's natural hormones. The U.S. FDA takes the position that Bioidentical hormones could also present some risk. This should be discussed with your health care practitioner.

Disclaimer
BHRT is a controversial approach to balancing hormones that, while adopted by many physicians practicing integrative, complementary or alternative medicine, has not been adopted by physicians in conventional settings. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is skeptical that the scientific evidence supports this approach to care. Pharmaceutical companies that manufacturers synthetic hormone replacement therapy has petitioned the FDA to limit certain compounds that may be used, which the FDA has granted. Not all compounds remain available, though the primary ingredients with clinical significance remain available. Large population studies of BHRT have not been conducted, and the information available about both the risks and benefits of natural hormone replacement are the result of clinical experience and applied knowledge of biochemistry rather than such studies.
