Frequently Asked
Questions
What are bio-identical hormones?
Bio-identical hormones are plant-based hormones that exactly match the natural hormones your body makes when it is (or was) in balance.
Why are pellets the most effective way to receive hormones?
Pellets deliver consistent healthy levels of hormones for 4 to 6 months. They avoid fluctuations of ups and downs of hormone levels seen with every other method of delivery. Pellets do not increase the risk of blood clots like conventional synthetic hormone replacement therapy.
How are pellets inserted?
The insertion of pellets is a very simple, painless procedure done with local anesthesia. The pellets are inserted in the upper buttocks through a very tiny incision which is close up with a steri-strip.
How long did the pellets last?
4 to 6 months.
What are bioidentical pellets made from?
Bio-identical hormone pellets are derived from plants such as yams or soy and are made to be structurally identical to the hormones that are naturally produced in the human body.
Who can gain from bio-identical hormone pellets?
Any woman or man with a hormone imbalance.
Will I need blood tests?
Yes, you have to get blood work done before treatment. We calculate the dosing of your bio-identical pellets based on your history, age, weight, and labs.
What is the difference between bio-identical hormones and synthetic hormones?
Bio-identical hormones have an identical chemical structure to those produced by the body. Synthetic hormones do not have a chemical structure that is identical to a person’s natural hormones.
How long does a bio-identical hormone pellet take to work?
Every patient is different. Within a week after the pellet insertion it begins to work. Some people feel a difference just after a few days.
What are the advantages of pellet therapy?
- Continuous availability of hormones 24/7.
- Your body controls the release of the hormone. You absorb more hormone during stressful times and exercise and you absorb less hormone when you are at rest.
- The hormones are absorbed directly into the bloodstream avoiding the liver and gastrointestinal system.
- Convenience – the pellets last 4-6 months.
- You don’t have to apply gels or creams daily or give yourself injections.
- Helps increase bone density.
- This method is shown to be best for mental clarity and sexual function.
