At HormoneSynergy®, we help men and women restore balance, energy, and vitality with personalized bioidentical hormone therapy. Our Portland and Lake Oswego clinics use advanced testing, evidence-based protocols, and individualized care to optimize your hormone health and support long-term wellness.
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are plant-derived compounds designed to be structurally identical to your body’s natural hormones. Because they match your own hormone structure, many patients tolerate them better than synthetic alternatives.
We offer multiple BHRT delivery methods for optimal results:
- Pharmaceutical patches and gels
- Compounded sustained-release capsules
- Topical creams or gels
- Sublingual lozenges
- Subcutaneous pellet implants
This customized approach ensures optimal absorption, safety, and effectiveness.
Why Choose Bioidentical Hormones Over Synthetic Hormones?
Traditional hormone therapy relied on synthetic options such as Premarin®, Provera®, PremPro®, and Estratest®, which research has linked to potential health risks.
In contrast, bioidentical hormones — including bioidentical progesterone and testosterone — mirror your body’s natural hormones for potentially improved safety, effectiveness, and quality of life.
Short-Term vs. Long-Term BHRT
As we live decades beyond our reproductive years, restoring hormones may help maintain energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality.
Two main approaches exist:
- Short-Term BHRT: Lowest effective dose for symptom relief
- Long-Term BHRT: Individualized dosing for healthy aging and sustained wellness
Both approaches require comprehensive lab testing and ongoing medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
