Title: Bioidentical Hormones
Post by: vitamin J on March 17, 2008, 06:57:12 PM
Bioidentical test and gh. Strong enough to work or just bs?

 "Bioidentical hormones are manufactured in the lab to have the same molecular structure as the hormones made by your own body. By contrast, synthetic hormones are intentionally different. Drug companies can’t patent a bioidentical structure, so they invent synthetic hormones that are patentable"

"Bioidentical" is an HRT doctor's buzzword.  Mine said the same thing.  It's just testosterone, probably (and hopefully) esterified.

Bioidentical hormones are generally compounded hormones that are in the same form as what is found naturally within the body.  They aren't esterfied, is pure testosterone or estrogen or progesterone with a carrier that allows transdermal absorption. 


Theres alot of medical controversy about "bioidentical" hormones now days because of the Wiley Protocol.

Ohhh...  My guy made reference to "Bioidentical Testosterone" and then prescribed Sustanon, so I assumed it was a man made version of naturally occuring hormone, as opposed to something like nandrolone.

Sorry for the misleading answer VJ, my bad.

From what I've read, an esterified testosterone for injection would be considered bioidentical as it doesn't change the hormone.

A bio identical hormone is a hormone that the body recognizes as something it can produce. An example would be DHEA.
