Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)is an effective treatment using hormones derived and made from plant compounds extracted from yams and soy that are identical to the hormones naturally made by your body. BHRT is transforming the lives of men and women as they enter the later stages of life. It provides an alternative to hormones that are synthetic, such as injectable testosterone, or hormones concentrated from horse urine (Premarin). BHRT is made by compounding pharmacists in customized dosages based on the individual needs of the patient as opposed to the narrow choices available with mass-produced, or “one size fits all” hormone therapies. The result is often the relief from symptoms of hormone deficiency, from insomnia, chronic fatigue, memory loss, and loss of libido.

HTCA offers BHRT using HTCA’s Pellet Therapy. Bioidentical Pellet Therapy is a hormone replacement method in which replaces the natural hormones men and women lose with age. The pellets contain either estradiol or testosterone, which are pressed or fused into tiny solid cylinders. When administered, they deliver consistent and healthy levels of hormones for 3-5 months in women and 4-6 months in men. Pellets dissolve inside the body on their own and are re-implanted as needed daepending on how rapidly the patient metabolizes the hormones. Pellets avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels seen with other delivery methods, providing more consistent hormone levels over a longer period.
