Is there a difference between conventional and bioidentical hormones?Updated a year ago

Yes, certainly! Conventional hormones, or synthetic hormones, differ in molecular structure from our body's natural hormones, which can lead to varied effects and potential side effects. Bioidentical hormones, however, are crafted to match the molecular structure of our body's hormones exactly, derived from natural sources like yams and soy. This precise match promotes a more natural integration into our body's systems, potentially minimizing side effects. Additionally, bioidentical hormones can be tailored to an individual's specific hormonal needs, allowing for a personalized approach to hormone replacement therapy. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider experienced in bioidentical hormone therapy to determine the best option for you.
