What Is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and others.
Unlike synthetic hormones (which have a different molecular structure), bioidentical hormones match your body's hormones exactly, which many patients find works better with fewer side effects .Our bioidentical hormones are derived from natural plant sources (primarily soy and wild yam) and modified to be identical to human hormones.

Hormones Matter More Than You Think
Hormones control almost everything in your body including energy, mood, weight, sleep, sex drive, metabolism, bone density, and mental clarity.
When your hormones decline (which happens naturally with age) or become imbalanced, the effects ripple through your entire life.
Common Signs of Hormone Imbalance:
For Women:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Weight gain (especially around midsection)
- Fatigue and low energy
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Sleep problems or insomnia
- Low libido or vaginal dryness
- Brain fog and memory issues
- Thinning hair or dry skin
For Men:
- Low energy and fatigue
- Decreased muscle mass, increased belly fat
- Low sex drive and erectile dysfunction
- Mood changes, irritability, depression
- Poor sleep quality
- Brain fog and poor concentration
- Loss of motivation or drive
- Decreased bone density
Restoring hormone balance often resolves these symptoms, helping you feel energized, focused, and like yourself again.

Hormones We Compound for Men & Women
RxFormulations compounds all major bioidentical hormones prescribed for hormone replacement therapy.
Combination Therapy
We can combine multiple hormones in a single capsule or cream for convenience, there’s no need to take 5 different medications.
Example: Estradiol + Progesterone + Testosterone in one daily capsule
- Estrogen - Supports mood, energy, bone health, and overall hormone balance, and we compound different types based on your provider’s prescription.
- Progesterone - Natural progesterone helps balance estrogen and supports sleep, mood, and bone health.
- Testosterone - It is important for both women and men and supports energy, muscle strength, libido, mood, and mental clarity.
- DHEA - It is a precursor hormone that helps the body produce other hormones and supports energy, immunity, and healthy aging.
- Pregnenolone - A precursor hormone that converts into other hormones and supports energy, cognitive function, and overall well being.
- Thyroid hormones (T3/T4) - It may be compounded when needed to support metabolism and energy levels.
