Bio-identical Hormones: Why Different from Synthetic?

Bio-identical hormones in Jacksonville, FL can relieve the symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances for both men and women.  Hormones are chemical substances naturally produced by the cells of our bodies.  These chemical substances play a very significant role in our body and an insufficiency could lead to hormonal imbalance.

There are hormonal changes in our body during our life stages that begin at our birth and continue until our adulthood.  As we age, it is common to experience some depletion in the body’s natural production of these needed hormones.  It is during this stage that it is very crucial to regulate or replace the needed hormones so the body can function normally.  That is why hormone replacement therapy came into play– to provide us relief in the symptoms of hormonal imbalance.

There are two types of hormones used in hormone replacement therapy: Synthetic hormones and Bio-identical hormones.  Bio-identical hormones are the type of hormones provided by Dr. Anthony Capasso of Thin Centers.  The reasons this type of hormone is more suitable than the synthetic hormones are listed below:

• Naturally derived
• Same molecular structures as our body hormones
• No likelihood for cancers and heart disease

Bio-identical hormones can be easily recognized by our body because their chemical structure is very identical to the natural hormones that our body produces.  Synthetic hormones are commonly known to produce very unhealthy side effects since they are not identical to the hormones naturally produced in our body.
