PELLET THERAPY

Hormone pellets are a unique delivery form created to replicate the way hormones are naturally released in the body. In a simple office procedure, these rice grain-sized pellets are inserted under a patient’s skin near the hip area.

​

Delivering hormone replacement therapy in pellet form has multiple benefits:

• Closest to nature — Pellets mimic the body’s natural delivery system more closely than any other method. 

• Consistency — Pellets supply a consistent level of hormones in the bloodstream. It is a slow release formula to avoid peaks and valleys.

• Convenience — Hormone pellets only need to be inserted a few times per year, replacing oral medications that must be taken daily.

• Fewer side effects — Pellet therapy bypasses the liver, sending hormones directly into the bloodstream, and avoiding certain side effects of oral medications.

​

Some patients report feeling symptom relief in as little as four weeks, although complete symptom relief may take up to six months.
