Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Achieving and maintaining hormonal balance is essential for overall health and well-being. Hormone imbalances, caused by factors such as aging, stress, diet, activity, or environmental influences, can significantly impact energy levels, mood, metabolism, and quality of life. At Cumberland Apothecary, we specialize in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), offering personalized solutions that restore balance and support your unique health needs.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
BHRT uses hormones that are identical to those naturally found in the human body to help balance levels disrupted by life’s many factors. These customized therapies aim to relieve discomforts associated with hormone imbalances, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, low libido, fatigue, and more. Beyond symptom relief, BHRT supports overall health, addressing concerns like bone density, heart health, and mental clarity.
Why Choose Compounded BHRT?
Commercially available hormone therapies often lack the precision needed for individual patients. Compounded BHRT allows our pharmacists to work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. We can adjust the dosage, delivery method, and hormone combination to fit your needs. This includes creating customized formulations in forms such as creams, gels, oral capsules, and lozenges, ensuring that your therapy is both effective and convenient.
By using bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to the body’s natural hormones, compounded BHRT is well-tolerated, leading to improved absorption and fewer side effects. It provides the flexibility to address multiple symptoms in a way that feels seamless in your daily routine.
