Narrator: What is a bioidentical hormone?
Laura Corio, MD: A bioidentical hormone is a hormone that is exactly the same as the hormones that you made when you were a menstruating woman, so estradiol, estriol,
are bioidentical hormones that you were making while you were menstruating and progesterone, and testosterone all hormones that you were making. I don't believe in synthetics.
I'm not big on the synthetics because of the side effects.
