How to Buy Bioidentical Hormones Online

Bioidentical hormones are different from traditional synthetic hormones in that bioidentical hormones look and act on a molecular level like the ones our bodies make. Bioidentical hormones are made from plants and sometimes animals, and are changed in a lab so that the molecules are similar to human hormones. To buy bioidentical hormones online, you have to know which ones you need and what kind of delivery system you want to use.
