Is bioidentical hormone therapy different from traditional HRT?

Reviewed by Dr. Shawana Mufti, BHRT & Menopause SpecialistLast reviewed September 24, 2026

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those the human body naturally produces, while conventional HRT may use synthetic hormones or those derived from other sources. Both approaches aim to relieve menopause symptoms and both require medical supervision.

The right choice depends on your individual health profile, symptoms, and goals, which is why BHRT is typically prescribed only after a full clinical review and lab testing.
