About Pro-Pell Pellets
Pellets are the most natural way to deliver bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in both men and women. Pellets deliver a consistent release of hormone levels over an extended period of time, typically 3–6 months. This means only 2–4 visits to the medical office per year! The procedure typically takes 10–15 minutes, and most people are comfortable resuming daily activities immediately after their appointment. Best of all, your dosage is customized based on your labs.

FACTS ABOUT HORMONE PELLETS
Hormone pellets are bio-identical to the hormones in the human body, and are a very effective way to deliver hormones in both men and women.
Hormone pellet therapy has been used with great success since 1938 and has been found to be superior to most methods of hormone delivery.
Pellets were frequently used in the United States from around 1940 through the late 1970’S.
Pellet therapy is not experimental.
Implants consistently release small physiologic doses of hormones, avoiding the fluctuations of hormones seen with some other methods of delivery.
There is more data to support the use of pellets in hormone replacement therapy than any other method of delivery.
Hormones delivered by pellets bypass the liver, do not affect clotting factors nor increase the risk of thrombosis.
Testosterone pellets do not adversely affect blood pressure, lipids, glucose or liver functioning.
BHRT for Men
Men experience a similar decline in hormone levels that women experience when they go through menopause. This is known as andropause in men, and this change occurs more slowly starting around the age of 30. Testosterone levels in men typically drop about 1% per year. It is estimated that 40% of men between the ages of 54 to 64 have levels below the lower limit of normal.
These lower levels of testosterone play a critical role in the quality and quantity of life in males. The decline in testosterone levels have been shown to be a risk factor for heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, osteoporosis, and diabetes. The goal of testosterone replacement in men is to bring the levels back into a normal range while managing the symptoms of low testosterone levels.

BHRT For Women
Today’s women prefer natural hormones. In a survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,009 women aged 40 and older, 83% said they would prefer to use hormones that are similar to their own body’s hormones. Bio-identical hormones include estrone (El), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), progesterone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and pregnenolone.
The goals of BHRT therapy include:
Alleviating the symptoms caused by the natural decrease in production of hormones by the body
Giving the protective benefits which were originally provided by naturally occurring hormones
Re-establishing a hormone balance
