Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are made from plant; they are extremely safe, effective, and beneficial to your health in many ways. Symptoms typically subside as soon as bioidentical hormones are introduced, and patients begin to feel like themselves again.

Although oral HRT is more popular, hormone pellets are a great alternative because of their convenience. A hormone pellet is placed under the skin, which releases bio-identical hormones. It can replace or regulate hormones in males and females with forms of estrogen or testosterone or a combination of both.

A hormonal deficiency manifests itself as weight gain, night sweats, low sex drive, bone loss, mood changes, and irritability as you age. Using hormone pellets may help prevent unwanted side effects of hormone imbalance.

Each hormone pellet therapy treatment is tailored to each patient’s specific needs, just as each patient’s symptoms are unique. Hormone pellet therapy journeys are tailored to meet patients’ individual needs. Some patients report relief after a few weeks, but complete optimization may take a few months.

As with any medical treatment, hormone therapy may cause unpleasant side effects. Incorrect hormone doses can cause unpleasant symptoms, including weight gain, blurred vision, headaches, and fatigue.
