According to American Longevity Center, Bio Identical Hormones are exact replicas of the hormones a patient's body would normally produce on its own.  As we age, our bodies make less of these vital hormones, leading to menopause and a host of other uncomfortable conditions commonly associated with aging.  Bio Identical Hormones are made in a compound pharmacy to be 100% identical to a patient's own hormones.

Bio Identical Hormone therapy is used in women experiencing a decline in hormones.  This decline may be related to menopause or could be the result of another underlying condition.  The physicians at American Longevity Center conduct a comprehensive health analysis of each patient to determine the reason for the decline in hormones and can then recommend the best method of treatment.  Often times, Bio Identical Hormones can eliminate many of the symptoms women experience due to a lack of adequate hormone levels.

Many people, even doctors, can sometimes confuse Bio Identical Hormones with synthetic hormones.  Synthetic hormones are also made in a lab and referred to as natural, but may contain hormones that wouldn't normally be found in the human body.  Synthetic hormones may be derived from plant compounds as well as the urine of a pregnant mare.  While the estrogen derived from the pregnant mare is natural, it is only found in horses, not humans.

Bio Identical Hormones are often designated as the best form of treatment because they are scientifically designed to interact with the patient's own hormones.
