What is BHRT?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) involves using hormones that are chemically identical to those the human body produces. These hormones are derived from plant sources and are designed to address hormonal imbalances that can occur due to aging, menopause, or other health conditions. Common hormones used in BHRT include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
