    Understanding BHRT: Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

    What Is BHRT?

    Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones are derived from plant sources and customized to match your individual hormone levels.

    Common Symptoms That BHRT Can Address

    • Hot flashes and night sweats
    • Mood swings, irritability, and anxiety
    • Sleep disturbances and insomnia
    • Weight gain and difficulty losing weight
    • Low libido and sexual dysfunction
    • Fatigue and brain fog
    • Joint pain and muscle loss

    How ProCompounding Approaches HRT

    At ProCompounding, our approach to HRT is truly personalized:

    1. Pharmacist consultation to review your symptoms
    2. Collaboration with your provider to develop a customized treatment plan
    3. Custom compounding of your hormones in the form that works best for you — tablets, patches, gels, or creams
    4. Ongoing support with follow-up consultations to adjust your treatment

    Our HRT program is led by Jessica Patrone, Pharm.D., who has over 20 years of compounding experience and is certified in Hormone Replacement Therapy.
