Healthline states hormones control your most basic bodily functions, coordinating between digestion, appetite, immune function, mood, and libido. When your hormones are out of balance or slightly lacking where they should be, it can significantly impact your wellbeing.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy® can ease symptoms when hormones drop or become unbalanced. The Anti-Aging & Regenerative Associates team can talk with you about your symptoms and how Daytona Beach bioidentical hormone replacement therapy® can help you.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy® (BHRT)?
Bioidentical is a term used to describe hormones made to be chemically similar to those in your body. Any hormone can be replicated, but the term bioidentical refers to compounds containing estrogens, progesterone, and androgens. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy® can support both men and women when there is a change in hormone levels.
Plant steroids found in soy and wild yams are utilized to be chemically identical to the hormones the human body makes. Bioidentical hormones are manmade and can come in pills, implanted pellets, patches, injections, gels, or creams. A provider from our team can discuss the options we offer and which product would be most helpful to you after a thorough exam.
What Is the Cost?
Depending on the specific regimen you need based on symptoms and goals will determine the price. Pricing can vary, and you must pay out of pocket for your prescription or services as we do not accept insurance.
