BHRT is a way to fight aging and balance your hormones. It does this with the use of chemically and biologically identical hormones. This makes BHRT a better choice than conventional hormone replacement therapy, which uses synthetic hormones.
The natural hormones used in BHRT can be administered with a number of delivery methods. They include:
- Pills
- Injections
- Pellets
- Creams
- Gels
- Skin patches
It's important to note that a provider typically won't utilize all of these hormone delivery methods. The best one for a given situation depends on the needs of the patient and the preference of provider. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy generally falls in to two categories: BHRT for Women and BHRT for men.
