What is Bio-identical hormone replacement?

Bio-identical hormone replacement is a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapies. Bio-identical hormone replacement utilizes bio-identical hormones derived from natural, plant-based substances. 

Unlike synthetic hormones, the molecular structure of the bio-identical hormones, testosterone and/or estrogen, is human identical. Since they are derived from nature, plant-based hormones metabolize in the body, just as nature intended. 

Mass-produced, synthetic hormones are composed of either horse urine or artificially formulated (synthetic) hormones in a lab. Manufacturers INTENTIONALLY create synthetic hormones that are slightly different than natural human hormones in order to patent those formulations.

Health practitioners have been performing bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)  since the 1930s. Studies have revealed that natural hormones may be a safer, more effective alternative, to synthetic hormone modalities that have been popular for decades.

Pellets are a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapies.  Pellets are a subcutaneous bio-identical hormone replacement therapy that utilizes bio-identical hormones derived from natural, plant-based substances.  They are placed just under your skin in the fatty area of your buttocks for women or in the "love handles" for men. 

The benefits of pellets include:

• Ease of delivery – hormone pellets are absorbed through cardiac output after placed just under the skin mimicking your bodies natural delivery system.
• Consistency – consistent hormone levels are key to achieving optimal results and you avoid the roller coaster some experience from Shots and Creams.
• Convenience – you only need to have hormone pellets inserted 3-4 times per year versus having to inject or apply daily.
• Low side effect profile – because hormone pellets are in a molecular form that is Human Identical, your body knows exactly what to do with them.
