How Do Hormone Pellets Work?
It has helped countless men and women alleviate several ailments, including low bone density, decreased libido, depression, anxiety, incontinence, migraines and headaches, poor mental concentration, body weight issues, and fatigue.
There are many ways to administer doses of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Some of the most popular come in pill or cream form.
Lately, however, there has been a shift in the favor of hormone pellets.
Why? Pellets most likely mimic the hormones created naturally by your body.
They are manufactured by select compounding pharmacies using strict manufacturing and quality control measures.
One formula cannot be mass-produced to encompass a "one size fits all" therapy remedy.
Each hormone pellet is designed to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone are most commonly prescribed for bio-identical hormone and replacement therapies.
Hormone pellets are made from "bio-identical hormones," which are created using natural plant sources and other organic ingredients.
Hormone pellets are implanted by the buttocks or hipbone, and the combination of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone are released over a period of a few months.
The unique combination steadily releases into the bloodstream over time, which is similar to the way our body naturally releases them.
A simple blood test reveals how often you will need the pellet replaced.
The effects are usually felt within a 24-48 hour period.
Over time the hormone pellets completely dissolve on their own.
This means that they only need to be placed, not replaced, a few times per year.
One of the benefits of using bio-identical hormones is the decreased side effects.
Patients have experienced a much lower incidence of any negative side effects, which has also attributed to its gain in popularity.
Although this form of hormone replacement therapy seems to have only recently gained in popularity, it has actually been around for the past 50 years.
Many compounding pharmacies guarantee the proper compounds, dosages and sterility of each preparation.
We adhere to the strict USP/NF 795 and 797 standards, as well as the quality control guidelines that govern aseptic preparation of customized pharmaceutical compounds.
Their state of the art facilities comply with all USP/NF Environmental standard, including ISO Class 5 Open Environment Clean Rooms and ISO Class 7 work areas.
