Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Hormones may be small, but they sure have a big impact. When they’re out of balance, you feel it—physically, emotionally, and mentally. At Dispensaries Ltd., we help bring things back into harmony with personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) designed just for you.

With a physician’s or clinician’s prescription, our experienced compounding pharmacists work with you to determine the specific hormones required and the ideal strength. They also help select the most appropriate dosage form and the best route of administration to support your health goals.

Whether you’re navigating menopause, andropause, thyroid imbalance, or other hormonal changes, BHRT can help restore your natural rhythm, so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.

What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

You might wonder: What exactly is bio identical hormone replacement therapy? Bioidentical hormones are compounds derived from natural sources, specifically wild yam extract. Through a careful laboratory process, the extract transforms to produce diosgenin, a base structure very similar to human progesterone.

Progesterone is often called the “mother hormone” because, with minimal lab modifications. It can give rise to important hormones such as DHEA, cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. These bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. This means your body recognizes and processes them in the same way as it would its own hormones.

Research suggests that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a safer alternative compared to traditional synthetic hormone replacement options. Since they more closely match your body’s chemical structure, they result in fewer side effects and offer better overall outcomes.

​Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
