What Are Bioidentical Hormone Pellets?

More and more men and women are recognizing that the symptoms they have been living with may be hormone-related. Symptoms such as weight gain, low libido, thinning hair, exhaustion, and memory problems are frequently written off as “normal signs of aging.” For many patients, these symptoms are worth evaluating in the context of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — and more specifically, bioidentical hormone pellets.

How Pellet Therapy Delivers Hormones

Hormone pellets are one of several delivery methods available for hormone therapy, and many patients and providers favor them for the reasons below:

• Pellet implants are placed under the skin and release small, steady doses of hormones over time, which supports stable hormone levels rather than sharp peaks and troughs.
• The pellets themselves are larger than a grain of rice and smaller than a Tic Tac, and are placed under the skin through a small incision that heals quickly.
• Bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy uses hormones derived from natural plant sources that are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces.
• Unlike typical oral and transdermal forms of therapy, which can produce more variable hormone levels and the “roller coaster” effect patients often describe, pellet implantation is designed to provide sustained hormone levels throughout the day for approximately four to six months.
• Pellet therapy may appeal to patients who want a bioidentical approach rather than a synthetic hormone protocol.
• Pellet therapy can be used in conjunction with other methods of hormone balancing.

Pellet Therapy for Men and Women

RevitalIV’s Revitalogy bioidentical hormone pellet therapy is available to both men and women. Women often seek pellet therapy to address symptoms associated with menopause, including weight gain, thinning hair, exhaustion, and memory problems. Men often seek pellet therapy for symptoms associated with andropause, sometimes called male menopause, such as low libido, changes in sexual function, thinning hair, and low energy.
