About Hormone Replacement Therapy
What Hormone Therapy Is
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) replaces hormones the body makes less of in the years around menopause. Whether it is right for you, and which hormones, forms and strengths to use, are decisions for you and your prescriber.
Jessica Patrone, a pharmacist specializing in hormone replacement therapy, discusses the potential negative effects of hormone treatments, particularly the risk of breast cancer. She explains how hormones can affect cell growth and the importance of regular screenings like mammograms. Jessica also highlights the role of genetic testing in assessing cancer risks.

Structurally Identical to What Your Body Produces
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are molecularly identical to the hormones your body produces, so they bind to the same receptors as your own hormones.
Because every woman's hormonal profile is unique, compounded BHRT allows your pharmacist and provider to fine-tune the specific hormones, dosages, and delivery methods to match your individual lab results and symptoms. If you are still comparing pharmacies, our guide on how to choose a compounding pharmacy for hormones walks through the criteria and the questions worth asking.
Commonly Compounded BHRT Ingredients
What Goes Into Your Personalized Formulation
Estradiol (E2)
The main estrogen the ovaries make before menopause. Prepared as a hypoallergenic cream, an olive oil base topical or a vaginal preparation, at the strength your prescriber writes.
View Research →Estriol (E3)
A weaker estrogen, often combined with estradiol as Bi-Est. Estriol is not available as a commercially manufactured product in the United States. Prepared as a hypoallergenic cream, an olive oil base topical or a vaginal cream.
View Research →Progesterone
A hormone the ovaries make in the second half of the menstrual cycle. Prepared as oral capsules, including extended-release capsules, at the strength your prescriber writes.
View Research →Testosterone
Women make testosterone too, and levels decline with age. Testosterone for women is prescribed off-label, and that decision rests with your prescriber. Prepared as a hypoallergenic cream or an olive oil base topical.
View Research →DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
A precursor hormone made by the adrenal glands, which the body converts into estrogen and testosterone. Prepared as oral capsules, and as a vaginal cream combined with estriol.

Multiple Options Tailored to Your Lifestyle
One of the key advantages of compounded BHRT is the ability to choose the delivery method that works best for your body and routine. Each method has unique advantages, and our pharmacists can guide you toward the best option based on your symptoms, hormone levels, and preferences. If you are having trouble filling a commercially manufactured estradiol patch, our guide to estradiol patch alternatives explains what we can prepare.
Applied to the skin for steady absorption in a hypoallergenic base. Allows easy dose adjustments and avoids first-pass liver metabolism.
A topical preparation in an olive oil base, applied to the skin for steady absorption.
Oral capsules for progesterone and DHEA, made to order for each patient.

The Role of Hormone Testing
Data-Driven Treatment Decisions
Hormone therapy decisions often start with understanding your current hormone levels. Comprehensive lab testing—including blood, saliva, or urine panels—provides a baseline that helps your provider and pharmacist design an optimal BHRT regimen. Regular follow-up testing ensures your dosages stay aligned with your changing needs. For a list of labs to discuss with your prescriber, see our suggested labs page.
Blood Testing
The standard for measuring serum hormone levels including estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid panel, and DHEA-S.
Saliva Testing
Measures "free" (unbound) hormone levels, which may more closely reflect the hormones available to your tissues.
Learn more about saliva testingDried Urine Testing
Evaluates hormone metabolites over a full day, providing insight into how your body processes and eliminates hormones.
