Blitz Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 As I've looked into HRT a lot of naturopathic doctors advertise bio-identical hormones. Doing a Google search says these are hormones that on the molecular level are the same as your body's natural hormones. I get that but what does that actually mean? Testosterone in testosterone enanthate is the same as testosterone in my body. Obviously enanthate is different. It's bio-identical unlike deca or eq which are synthetic sex hormones that differ from testosterone. Is this just marketing? Has anyone gone through this process? Do you just end up with a prescription for Delatestryl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbone Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) They're more expensive is what they are. I have a buddy in the pharma industry this was his opinion. Bioidentical hormones are derived from organic matter, whjle traditionally hormones are chemically synthesized. Bioidentical hormones work better for a very very very select minority. The idea that they are "safer" or more effective is nonsens Unless your drugs are ineffective or cause some sort of immune response you dont need bioidentical. Its a lot of hype and marketing My understanding is there are markers on the bioidentical hormones your body recognizes. For most people your bodys receptor sites will accept a synthesized hormone a small number of peoples bodys wont wihout those bioidentical markers Edited June 2, 2020 by Carbone more info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I agree with @Carbone From the information available (non biased) I believe he is on the mark with what he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyTechPharma Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I 100% agree with what @Carbone and what @Vortex said as well as the cost difference doesn’t make it the least bit worthwhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info guys The base hormone is what is slightly different. From my understanding You could attach whatever ester you wanted to the bio hormone. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I'm also fairly certain any test that detects supraphysiological levels of hormones would still catch you. So No. Not natty lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
