Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical versions of hormones that naturally occur in the human body. As we age, our bodies produce fewer essential hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Replacing these declining hormones through bioidentical hormone therapy can help both men and women find relief from unpleasant symptoms and reduce health risks linked to hormonal imbalance.
At Renewal Hormone Clinic clinic in Elkton, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement tailored to your unique hormonal needs. Read on to learn more about how bioidentical hormones work, who can benefit and why timely treatment is so important for supporting lasting health.
