How bioidentical hormone replacement compares with synthetic HRT.
Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to those the body produces; synthetic hormones are not. Both are prescription-grade.
| Attribute | Bioidentical HRT | Synthetic HRT |
|---|---|---|
| Molecular structure | Identical to endogenous hormones | Modified |
| Personalization | Compounded to clinician spec | Fixed-dose |
| Source | Plant-derived (yam, soy) | Synthetic |
| Side-effect profile | Reviewed with your clinician | Reviewed with your clinician |
