You probably already know what Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is and how it can help, If not, you can go to BHT Hormone Therapy for more information. For this article, we will answer what the best form of hormone replacement therapy is. But first, let's begin with the different forms of hormone replacements.


HRT can be administered via different routes, including orally, transdermal creams (through the skin), intravaginally, injections, and pellets.


Traditionally the more common form of HRT for woman was oral HRT (in pill form taken orally daily) and trans dermally (cream). For men it has been administered through injection or gels.


There is a newer technique to administered HRT that has shown to be far superior to all the other forms of administration. This form is known as Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy know as Pellets.


Pure Health uses this technique and is partnered with Biote to provide the purest form of bioidentical hormones. They also have one of the most clinically researched administration and dosing platforms in the industry. For more information on the procedure of Pellet administration go to www.biote.com


Benefits of using Pellet Bioidentical Hormone Therapy


1. Unlike with techniques where you have to administer creams or pills daily or injections weekly. Pellets are only put in once every 4-5 months.


2. The benefits of only having to administer so rarely is important because it allows for a consistent even dose of hormones whereas injections cause inconsistence levels from day to day. Creams has been proven to give inconsistent absorption rates as well. Also, not all people can absorb the creams.


3. Biote Pellets used at Pure Health Medical Center are Bioidentical and not synthetic. This means the body recognizes the hormones as naturally in the body. Synthetic hormones have shown to have many side effects compared to Bioidentical Hormones.


Hormone replacement therapy can help restore balance for individuals experiencing symptoms related to declining hormone levels. When hormones become imbalanced, patients may experience fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and reduced quality of life. Proper evaluation and treatment can help patients regain vitality and overall well-being. Patients seeking personalized evaluation and treatment options often work with a functional medicine clinic in Columbus where hormone testing and individualized care plans are used to support optimal health.
