Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
New Jersey Medical Facility of Dr. Roberta Foss-Morgan
This type of hormone replacement
therapy is not new to medical science, it has been around for
quite some time, especially in European countries. The word "bioidentical"
simply refers to hormones that have been chemically synthesized in
order for them to be the same or identical to the endogenous
hormones Testosterone, Estrone, Estradiol, Estriol and
Progesterone that we produced when we were much younger, say 20
years old. Over the years, we ingest hormones from the air, our
drinking water and the fruits, vegetables, meats and fish we eat
that are not necessarily the quality of hormones that our bodies
require as we age. In fact, some of these hormones are not really
hormones at all. They simply create a hormone-like effect in the
human body which in turn causes our bodies to interrupt the
production of the natural hormones that it makes for us to stay
healthy. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in New Jersey
and elsewhere is primarily used for the treatment of menopause, as
well as perimenopause and post-menopause.
Bioidentical hormone replacement is
a "natural" alternative to the hormones and steroids in
the New Jersey commercial marketplace which are largely synthetic.
Bioidentical hormones are made from plants like soy beans and yams. The hormones that are
produced from plants must be chemically altered in their molecular
structure in order to be identical to that which is naturally
produced by the human body. Although hormones are indeed vital to
plant growth, plants do not have glands for the secretion of
hormones like that of animals.
Custom compounding by special New
Jersey pharmacies is critical to the success of hormone
replacement therapy that utilizes bioidentical hormones.
Bioidentical hormones are natural, in that, while they are
manufactured in a New Jersey lab they are identical to the
hormones that are naturally produced by our bodies and cause few
side effects. Bioidentical hormones can be matched individually to
each woman's needs.
The purpose for hormone
replacements varies from woman to woman and often depends on many
different factors including but not limited to preexisting health
conditions, a patient's age and a patient's history of
reproductive health. Each hormone replacement regimen at our New
Jersey medical facility is dependent on the chemical balance and
make-up of the patient. It is individualized for maximum health
benefit. Hormone replacement therapy using bioidenticals is the
natural health solution to many different illnesses and maladies.
