How Do Bioidentical Compounds Affect the Human Body?
Bioidentical compounds can influence the body in various ways, similar to endogenous hormones. They bind to the same receptors and trigger similar biological responses. However, because they are often used in HRT, there is a risk of hormonal imbalance if not properly monitored. Overdosing or incorrect formulations can lead to side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, and increased risk of certain cancers. It's crucial for toxicologists to understand these potential effects to better evaluate the safety profile of these compounds.
