Exactly what are bio-identical hormones? This term has become a catch all phrase for anything that is not a synthetic hormone. It is commonly applied to look-alike molecules derived from “natural” plants that are substituted for our own endogenously-produced hormone molecules. The concept of “natural” or bioidentical hormones are made in a laboratory by converting natural plant compounds from wild yams and soybeans into chemical molecules identical to those made in the human body. This is for 17-beta estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone, of course.

The term bio-identical scientifically means that the look-alike molecules synthesized from plants are substituted for our own endogenously-produced hormone molecules. Bio-identical hormone products are created from natural sources of plant hormones which match the chemical structure of hormones produced by the human body.

Basically these sources of plant hormones actually mimic the chemical structure of hormones produced by the human body so the body can’t distinguish created bio-identical hormones from the ones the female ovaries produce naturally in a woman in her younger years.

Bio-identicals are available in standardized tablets, patches, compounded creams, gels and injectable prescriptions. The Wiley Protocol bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is biomimetic, meaning that it is dosed in a rhythm. Biomimetic hormones, the scientifically accurate term, are derived from plant sources and mimic the natural undulating or wavelike rhythms of the hormone blood levels in a normal menstrual cycle in a healthy young woman. It is this natural rhythm that is missing from all other bio-identical and synthetic hormone replacement therapies.
