Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a prescription alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT-conjugated estrogens, medroxyprogesterone, etc.).
Pellets are the BEST method to deliver needed hormones to men and women!
Pellets are made up of either estradiol or testosterone.
Estradiol and testosterone are compressed into very small solid cylinders.
Pellets are slightly larger than a grain of rice and smaller than a Tic-Tac.
Bio-Equivalent pellets are plant-derived, and identical to what your body would naturally produce. Bio-Equivalent Hormone Replacement Therapy is customizable; in other words, the pellet doses can be adjusted to fit your needs, unlike conventional HRT, which has a few standard dosage strengths.
There has been controversy on the topic of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for the last 15 years. Negative attitudes about hormone replacement have dominated the media since 2002. Combine this with the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study that was halted three years ago because of health risks, women and physicians are having diffulty making informed decisions on their health.
Let’s shed a little light on the confusion. First, the WHI study and the subsequent media reports about HRT are based on Commercial HRT only. They are based on findings from use of the combination of conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone (called PremPro). Thus, when you hear about HRT in the news, this is what they are referring to.
There are over-the-counter products containing phytoestrogens, and topical products containing low-dose progesterone. These will provide temporary relief in PMS, perimenopausal, and menopausal symptoms. Long-term benefits and improved health can only be achieved through prescription Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy.
