Bioidentical hormones are not always safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Plant-derived bioidentical estrogens and progesterone have a similar chemical structure to hormones made in the body, but evidence on their long-term safety and efficacy compared to synthetic hormones is still inconclusive.
Let me know if you would like me to expand on any section or modify the outline further. I aimed to provide a high-level overview without including any specifics you asked to avoid.
