Bio-identical Hormones
Although both men and women can benefit from bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, it is most often used in women during the menopausal period and beyond. Synthetic hormones are used to best match the body's own hormones. These hormones originate from plants like soy and yam. Extractions are modified so that the hormones become identical to human estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone or testosterone.
At Amber, we provide individualized bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and consultation with a prescribing physician for patients who attend regular follow-ups to ensure that doses are best moderated for graceful aging. Prescribed treatment is based on a combination of patient symptoms and tested hormone levels. This treatment strategy aims for well-balanced care that goes beyond the 'one size fits all' approach from commercial hormone replacement therapy.
