What are bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are hormones derived from natural plant compounds (soybeans and yams) and they work in the exact same way as your natural hormones.
Dr. Yung provides bioidentical hormone therapy using quality hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the ones your body produces naturally. Bioidentical hormones are a safer and more natural alternative than the hormones that are made from horse urine or created in a lab (synthetic ones). Dr. Yung offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy administered with an implant pellet. In just a few minutes, in a virtually painless in-office procedure, Dr. Yung carefully places the pellets in the fatty layer under your skin in your upper buttocks. The pellets release hormones that are absorbed into your bloodstream over time.
