Bioidentical hormones are plant derived and made in a compounding pharmacy. They behave identically to those produced naturally in a woman’s body. There are no “extra” hormones like there are when the product is derived from an animal such as in Premarin, which is derived from a mare’s urine. In an article in BMC Women’s Health it states, “Unlike manufactured Conventional Hormone Therapy (CHT), such as conjugated estrogens (CE) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), BHRT hormones do not contain extra structural moieties which may alter hormone receptor binding and function in the human body.” 

• Estradiol, estriol, and estrone are the three types of estrogen circulating in a woman’s body. The balance of these hormones and others start to become off-balance as a woman enters menopause. The only type of estrogen that is found in commercially available hormone products in the United States is estradiol. This estrogen is found in both biodientical or synthetic forms. 
• Estriol (E3) the weaker estrogen has been shown to alleviate menopausal symptoms especially vaginal dryness.
• Estrone (E1) is a prodrug of estradiol and has been shown to have a less useful pharmacological profile therefore it is not used.
