Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is used to replace hormones that the body no longer produces at optimal levels. This can occur during perimenopause, menopause, or other hormonal transitions. Each compounded therapy is custom-prepared based on the prescriber’s specifications and the patient’s unique hormonal profile.

A&O Compounding Pharmacy formulates bioidentical hormones, which are structurally identical to those produced by the body. This allows for a more natural and targeted therapeutic effect.

Clinical Insight

Bioidentical Hormones & Patient Outcomes

Bioidentical hormones mimic the body’s own chemical structure, promoting smoother absorption and consistent results. When compounded to a patient’s specific needs, they can reduce fluctuations, improve well-being, & better support long-term hormonal stability.

Benefits of Compounded Hormone Therapy

Unlike commercially available options, compounded hormones can be adjusted for the exact dosage, delivery form, and combination that best meets the patient’s needs.

Doses customized for the individual
Balanced ratios of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
Alternative delivery methods (creams, capsules, troches)
Free from unwanted fillers, dyes, or allergens
Improved absorption and bioavailability
Personalized formulation for comfort & consistency

This level of personalization ensures treatment is both effective and comfortable.

How Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Differs from Synthetic Options

Bioidentical hormones are designed to match the molecular structure of hormones naturally produced in the body. In contrast, synthetic hormones often contain slight chemical differences that can alter the way the body metabolizes them.

Because of this, bioidentical therapy—when properly compounded—tends to produce fewer side effects and more predictable results, supporting a smoother hormonal transition and improved well-being.
