SottoPelle Therapy in Texas
Without hormone replacement therapy, menopause and andropause are inevitable in Texas. As you age, your body generates lower and lower levels of important hormones. Without its formerly healthy levels of hormones, your body becomes more vulnerable to age related diseases like osteoporosis, heart disease, cardiovascular disease and other debilitating ailments. Not to mention disturbing symptoms like hot flashes, memory lapses, sexual dysfunction, lack of sleep, depression, fatigue and so forth are also present. It makes you yearn for times past and we can give that feeling again with natural hormone replacement therapy in Texas.
Symptom Free with Hormone Therapy
Now envision a new you hormonally balanced. You're feeling vibrant, energetic and even sexy again. You sleep better during the warm Texas nights. Your headaches are gone and so is your grumpy attitude. Everyone around you notices that you seem more positive, more like your old self. Our bio-identical hormone pellet therapy can return you to hormonal balance, well-being and the physiologic state of your thirties.
History and Research on Pellet Hormone Replacement Therapy
In 1935, hormone pellet therapy was created in Europe to help alleviate the problems women experienced due to hormone production cessation or menopause. This modality was then brought to the United States in 1939 by Dr. R. B. Greenblatt. He introduced it to the Menopausal Clinic, where it is used today more than half a century after its introduction. Since then, Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy in pellet form in Texas has been positively researched and accepted as the most effective delivery system available for men and women suffering from the side effects of menopause or andropause (male equivalent of menopause). When the body is in need of estrogen or testosterone, these tiny implants, placed under the skin, are found to consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones providing optimal therapy. For decades, these positive research studies have been reported in respected medical journals around the world. In addition, human identical hormones have long been preferred in Japan, France and other European countries. Many women and men in this country and others have now switched from synthetic to bio-identical hormone therapy.
Hormone Replacement Therapy - Sottopelle Superior Hormone Therapy
The term "bio-identical structure" means that pellets are nothing like the synthetic hormones manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. Pellets are both natural and biologically identical to the estrogen and testosterone your body once produced in correct amounts. Hormone pellets are compounded according to the highest industry standards using the finest botanical ingredients available. Derived from soy and other natural plant-based substances, the bio-identical hormones are hand-formulated into pellets at one of the foremost compounding pharmacies in the U.S. This ensures the superior quality and efficacy of our pellets for use in natural hormone replacement therapy. No horse urine. No fillers. Just pure, natural, biologically identical hormones plain and simple.
Bio-identical Hormone Ratio A woman's body makes three different estrogens: estrone, estradiol and estriol. Estradiol is the predominant estrogen, produced in twice the amount of the other estrogens in the blood. To function normally, a woman's body must have this ratio of 2:1. Balance is vital when it comes to hormone replacement therapy in Texas. This estrogen ratio, in addition to a proper level of bio-identical testosterone, is what returns a woman's body to its normal hormonally balanced physiology. Men, on the other hand, produce only miniscule levels of estrogen in their bodies, and require only testosterone hormone treatments to achieve balance and return to their former optimum well-being.
