How do I know if my progesterone is bioidentical?
The most important thing to consider when looking into hormone replacement therapy is whether or not the hormones used are bioidentical. Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced by your body, which means that they can be metabolized more efficiently by your body in comparison to synthetic hormones.
When it comes to bioidentical progesterone, you'll want to make sure that your doctor is using a brand of progesterone specifically labelled as such. Unfortunately, many doctors aren't aware of the differences between bioidentical and synthetic hormones and may be prescribing something else instead. It's therefore important that you ask questions and understand what is being prescribed to you.
Below are some key signs that let you know whether the progesterone being prescribed is truly bioidentical:
If the prescription does not meet any of the criteria above, then it is likely not from a bioidentical source. In this case, it would be wise to look for another provider who specializes in bioidentical hormones before considering any kind of hormone replacement therapy.
