Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with pellets is exactly what it sounds like. It is using hormones that are identical to the hormones naturally made by the human body. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has transformed the healthcare of men and women as they enter the second half of their lives. It provides an alternative to hormones that are synthetic, like injectable testosterone, or concentrated from horse urine (Premarin). Patients taking pellet BHRT are given in dosages tailored to their individual needs; instead of the narrow choices available with mass-produced hormone therapies (one size fits all).

The interest in a more natural approach to hormone therapy has focused attention on bio-identical hormones — hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones men and women make in their bodies. They are not found in this form in nature but are derived and made from plant compounds extracted from yams and soy. Bio-identical hormone therapy is often called “natural hormone therapy” because bio-identical hormones act just like the hormones produced by your body.
