Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets

Many methods of delivery can be utilized to administer BHRT, however, data shows the most efficient method by way of absorption and availability to deliver hormones in both men and women is by pellet implant.

BHRT pellets contain either estradiol or testosterone, which are pressed, or fused into tiny solid cylinders that for reference, are smaller than a tic tac and slightly larger than a grain of rice. They deliver consistent and healthy levels of hormones for 3-5 months in women and 4-6 months in men. Pellets dissolve inside the body on their own and are re-implanted two to four times a year depending on how rapidly the patient metabolizes the hormones. Pellets help patients to avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels seen with other methods of delivery, providing more consistent hormone levels over a longer period.

Unlike conventional or synthetic hormone replacement therapy, pellets DO NOT increase the risk of blood clots.

BHRT using pellets has a very high success rate, even in patients who failed to get results with other types of hormone therapy, and BHRT remains at the top of the list by way of convenience for the patient.

When compared to other types of hormone replacement therapy, many studies indicate pellets to be superior for resolution and/or relief of symptoms from menopause and andropause, such as, bone density maintenance, sleep regulation, improved libido, sexual performance, and sexual response.

Both men and women require adequate levels of testosterone for optimal physical and mental health and for the prevention of chronic illnesses, such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and heart attacks, which are all associated with low testosterone levels.

The key is to speak with one of our hormone therapy experts to discuss what type of BHRT is most appropriate for you and your specific situation.

In both men and women, the use of testosterone pellets has also been shown to relieve depression and anxiety, improve concentration and memory, increase energy and provide an overall sense of well-being.
