Bio-identical hormone therapy ( BHRT) is not the same as conventional hormone therapy which is synthetic in nature and commonly is a combination of hormones derived from equine sources. Bio-identical hormones are compounded at a specific pharmacy from phyto, soy or herb sources (plant sources) which respond identically as the hormones produced in your body. This is the reason why bio-identical hormones do not produce significant side effects as conventional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
