Bioidentical Hormone pellet therapy is the most stable and long acting form.
Out of all the hormone treatments available, bio-identical hormone pellet therapy is the most stable and long acting form. Hormone pellets are commonly used in Australia and Europe. Although they have been used in America since the 1930’s, their popularity has increased in recent years. There is nothing mystic about them, no magic, just pure physiology, and pure common sense.
The pellets contain either estradiol or testosterone and are inserted under the skin in the abdomen or the upper buttocks under local anesthesia. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources such as soy and are compounded to be biologically equivalent to human estradiol and testosterone. These hormone pellets are near the size of a grain of rice and have a continual release of natural hormone over a period of 4-6 months. Appropriate blood testing is performed prior to insertion to determine the dosages best suited for each individual. Bioidentical hormones are safer and react differently in body tissues than do the “synthetic or chemical” hormones.
Estradiol is the most active form of Estrogen in the body, primarily produced by the ovaries. Estradiol acts as an antioxidant and has cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and musculoskeletal protective effects. Bioidentical estradiol improves quality of life, moods, and vaginal and urethral tissue strength and elasticity. Thus, it reduces stress, incontinence and urinary tract infections, improves bone mineral density, reduces hot flashes and vaginal dryness, improves cholesterol levels, and does not increase the risk of breast cancer.
Bioidentical testosterone is one of the most valuable hormones available to improve the quality of life in both male and female alike. It is a natural preventative of heart issues, reduction of cancer growth, and can significantly reduce risks of osteoporosis. Bio-identical Testosterone maintains muscle, bone, connective tissues, reduces insulin resistance, reduces cancer cell proliferation, reduces blood pressure and cholesterol levels naturally and can improve some auto immune diseases. It significantly improves libido, strength of orgasm, shortens muscle recovery time between exercising, removes brain fog, helps with energy and sense of well being, can reduce anxiety and depression.
