Bioidentical vs. synthetic hormones

Bioidentical hormones have the exact same chemical structure as those produced by the body, making them easily absorbed and put into action. Bioidentical hormones act exactly like a woman’s own hormones, because they are exactly like a woman’s hormones.

Non-bioidentical hormones, often called synthetic, are made of substances that are foreign to a woman’s body. Synthetic hormones are not exactly like a woman’s hormones — so it is not surprising that there are many unwanted effects from synthetic hormones, which are not experienced by woman using bioidentical hormones.

A large body of evidence shows that Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is safer and more effective than synthetic hormone replacement. At Wild Wellness, we regularly measure and monitor hormone levels along with patient symptoms to ensure optimum results.

Estrogen Therapy

Estrogen is a woman’s most important hormone. Estrogen is a woman’s energy and builder. It improves bone mass, and within the brain, estrogen acts as a natural antidepressant and mood stabilizer. Estrogen can be administered as a pellet, a patch, a vaginal ring, cream, or spray. Your Agenixs team will help you determine what works best for you.

Progesterone Therapy

Progesterone plays a major role in the body and has many vital functions in women of all ages. Bioidentical progesterone therapy helps balance estrogen, regulates blood sugar and thyroid hormone production, builds bones, converts fat into energy, and has a calming emotional effect. Progesterone is also a natural antidepressant, helps to initiate sleep, and is a natural diuretic. It can be administered by cream or a pill, and may be combined with estrogen and/or testosterone to help achieve overall balance.

Testosterone for Women

Testosterone is not just important for men — it’s vital for women to live a healthy and fulfilled life. Testosterone gives a woman mental clarity, lean muscle tone, a better ability to manage stress, and a heightened libido. Pellets deliver the most gentle, consistent doses of hormones with few side effects. Testosterone can also be given as a pill based on a woman’s needs and preference.
