Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Sunshine Pharmacy, along with your doctor, can help you find the perfect formula to help manage the complications and hassels of menopause. Bio Identical is a term used to describe a hormone that is absolutely identical in chemical structure to the analogous hormone produced by your body. The source of these hormones are plant estrogens and progesterone like compounds that are transformed in a lab to their identical human hormones. Soy and yam are examples of some natural sources used to produce these hormones. Synthetic forms of progesterone and estrogen were developed because “natural” forms cannot be patented. Typical compounded Bio-Identical hormones include Estradiol, Estrone, DHEA, Progesterone, Testosterone, and Pregnenolone
Unlike synthetic hormones currently on the market today, bio identical hormones can be compounded to meet your specific needs. Because no two patients are alike, Sunshine Pharmacy Certified Compounders can prepare any combination of medications and strengths in a variety of different dosage forms. We offer countless options to choose from to make administering your medicine easier. They include:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a prescription for Bio-Identical Hormones?
Yes. They require a prescription from a licensed physician or practitioner.
Am I too old to start?

It is never too late to start. In fact, some studies have shown that the response to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) was more immediate in older people because of their greater deficiencies.

How long before you can actually see results?
Although every treatment varies with each patient, some patients report results days after starting their treatment. Often the results are shown by not feeling sick, tired, irritable, sobby, etc.
