What are bio-identical markers?
I hear this term used, and would like to know if these are synthetic or natural substances.

Here are some interesting facts about bio-identical markers. Hope it helps.
--quote---
The term “bio-Identical” has been used in recent years to attempt to clarify hormone replacement products which are chemically identical to human hormones. This designation has been applied to 17-Estradiol, Estrone, Estriol, Testosterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone, Melatonin, Pregnenolone and Progesterone. All of which are found in human tissues. Strictly speaking, hormones referenced in bio-Identical HRT are chemically synthesized from precursor compounds found in nature. These naturally occurring base compounds are similar – not identical – to human hormones.
Chemical manufacturers of bio-identical hormones utilize diosgenin from Dioscorea in the Marker Degradation to synthesize progesterone and other hormones. Diosgenin may also be obtained from other plant sources (agave, crape ginger, soy etc.). The majority of commercially available bio-identical steroid hormones are produced with this process. Chemical manufacturing companies utilize United States Pharmacopeia-National Formulary (USP-NF) monographs to test each hormone for which USP-NF monographs are available.
