Bio identical hormones are synthetic hormones that are similar to naturally occurring hormones used to replace low hormones.
The most commonly used hormones are female hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, and the male sex hormone called testosterone.
Some people believe, although it is controversial, that bioidentical hormones offer less side effects compared to naturally occurring hormones.
