Bio-identical Hormone Pellet Therapy
Hormone Pellet Therapy is plant based and uses no synthetic hormones. Learn more about the pellet therapy process below.
What is Pellet Therapy?
Pellets are very small, custom compounded therapies for symptoms that stem from hormonal imbalances. This therapy keeps hormone levels consistent through the day and avoids rollercoaster-like effects from orally administered or topically administered hormones. The pellets used contain bio-identical hormones, derived from natural sources. The pellets contain hormones identical to the ones found in the human body. Studies have shown bio-identical hormones have fewer side effects than synthetic hormones.
What type of pharmacies do we work with?
The hormones used in our pellets are custom compounded. We use highly specialized pharmacies that are registered with the FDA. The pellets are compliant to the FDA sterility process. The medical pharmacies employ environmental monitoring per every pellet batch. This is all overseen by a dedicated FDA compliance officer.
What kind of estrogen is in the bio-identical pellets?
We use bio-identical estradiol in the pellets, meaning that the chemical structure is the same as the hormones naturally produced in your body.
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Each patient's symptoms are unique and each patient's paths to optimization is unique. Most patients report some symptom resolution in as little as two to four weeks, but full optimization may take up to 6 months. Your journey will be specialized to fit your specific needs. Just as it doesn't take you 1-2 weeks to get out of balance, it doesn't resolve that quickly either.
