What is Bioidentical Estrogen?
Bioidentical estrogen is a hormone that is chemically identical to the estrogen your body naturally produces. Unlike other centers that provide hormone replacement therapy, we source our bioidentical estrogen from soy. Using our patented method, The Virden Method™, we deliver bioidentical estrogen through subcutaneous pellets in efforts to increase your estrogen levels and improve your overall well-being.
