Why Choose Pellet Therapy?


Published November 11, 2015

Although pellet therapy has been around for countless decades, it is only recently beginning to get recognition, gaining traction because of its safety, effectiveness and ease of use. Pellet therapy is a delivery method for bioidentical hormones, suitable for both men and women seeking testosterone therapy.

The Benefits of Pellet Therapy Experience the Power of Pellet Therapy

Testosterone pellet therapy in both men and women has been shown to improve symptoms of low testosterone, including migraines, low energy, depression, feelings of self-doubt and low self-esteem, anxiety, memory issues and poor concentration. Low testosterone levels, also known as low T, have also been linked to an increased risk of chronic illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Testosterone pellet therapy can help improve symptoms and risks associated with low T without the daily hassles or side effects that traditionally accompany other delivery methods.

Pellet Therapy for Men

Testosterone pellet therapy for men has proven to be an effective treatment for a variety of symptoms and conditions related to low levels of testosterone, including erectile dysfunction, low energy, mood swings, depression, focus and ambition. Pellet therapy offers men a preferred alternative to creams, gels and injection because there is no need to apply a cream daily, worry over transference or agonize over the pain of an injection.

Pellet Therapy for Women

For women, testosterone pellet therapy offers similar benefits to those for men, including many of the increased sex drive, better emotional control, improved concentration and easier weight management. Testosterone pellet therapy has also been shown to help women struggling with menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, fatigue and low bone density. For women, the primary advantage of pellet therapy is the no-hassle, natural dosing. After insertion, pellets release a steady dose of hormone over the course of three to five months, closely mimicking the body’s natural secretion process.
