Hormone Therapy

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Hormone replacement using pellet implants has been around for more than 70 years. Scientists have published positive research on the benefits of this therapy in authoritative international journals for decades. Bio-identical pellet therapy was originally developed in Europe during the 1930s. It proved an excellent treatment for hormone deficiencies, especially in those going through menopause. The highly-respected pioneer of Endocrinology, Dr. Robert B. Greenblatt, learned about this method and introduced it to his U.S. colleagues in 1939. Today, practitioners use pellet implants to restore hormonal balance in men and women of all ages. Best of all they are natural, safe, and effective.

What are Hormone Pellets®?

The pellet delivery system provides safe and effective BHRT. It remains the only form of delivery that closely mirrors what the ovary and testicle do. This method ensures the same steady, around-the-clock, low dosages of hormones the body once created. You won’t have to change patches, take injections, rub on creams, or remember to take a pill. And you won’t experience the radical surges and drops in blood levels as with other methods that have been used in the past. Pellet implants deliver more when the body needs it—like during exercise or periods of stress.
  • Does it give the right amount of hormones?

    Creams, injections, pills and patches all deliver wildly, inconsistent amounts of hormones that does not mimic how the body naturally delivers hormones. The pellet delivery system is consistent and ongoing as the body requires it. You don’t have to worry about taking a pill, or a patch falling off, or a million other factors that make creams, pills, and patches an unreliable way to deliver hormones. Pellets remain the only delivery system that provides steady blood serum levels over time.

  • Is it safe?

    The pellet system is in fact safe. Once inserted, a steady, low dose of natural hormone flows directly into the blood stream whenever the body needs it. This gives the body the ability to control the release of the hormone just as it did when the ovaries and testicles were working normally. This method utilizes the proprietary dosing site, BioCalc (patent pending) to prescribe the precise hormones, specifically for your needs.

  • Does it help promote and preserve bone density?

    Yes, in fact it does. As we age and our hormone levels shift dramatically, maintaining normal bone density becomes critical to having good health. Fluctuating levels of estrogen and testosterone can decrease bone strength and increase the chance of fractures. Women who undergo premature surgical menopause also remain at greater risk of developing osteoporosis, making it critical to check their hormone levels. Demonstrated by the four-fold increase in bone density over oral estrogen, 2.5 times greater than patches and 8.3% per year for pellet therapy.
