#Bioidentical+ are bioidentical hormones with an ester group attached. 🤔 The ester carrier group protects the hormone while it hangs out in the fat or lymph system. 💪 When the ester is attached, the hormone is essentially inactive. Once the ester carrier + hormone are released into the blood, the ester is cleaved off, leaving a bioidentical hormone. 🎉 These are NOT the same as synthetic hormones like Premarin and Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, which have completely different chemical structures and actions than their bioidentical cousins. ❎ In short - bioidentical+ hormones can be thought of as being bioidentical even though they look a little funny. 🥴 Make sense? ? ❓
