WHAT are BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE PELLETS?

​

Biologically identical hormones have been approved and available in the US since the 1930’s. The use of these hormones has been slow to increase despite scientific research showing that bio-identical hormone use is far superior to using non-human hormones. We now have the ability to place time-release pellets of approved human hormones in the fat under the skin to deliver more youthful levels of hormones. The hormone is absorbed slowly and steadily for months following placement. It can dramatically improve many people’s quality of life and overall health in measurable ways. These findings are also supported by hundreds of recent scientific studies.

 

HOW are PELLETS ADMINISTERED?

 

Bio-identical hormone pellets come in various strengths from a highly rated commercially licensed compounding pharmacy. The hormones are derived from an ingredient found in many vegetables, particularly yams. Testosterone and/or Estradiol are placed using time released pellets inserted into body fat. The pellets are very small, usually painless to insert, and provide a steady hormone level for months.
