Hormone Therapy

Hormone Therapy for both men and women at Essential Vitality is provided through Hormone Pellets. These pellets are small, implantable capsules containing bioidentical hormones (estradiol or testosterone) that are inserted under the skin to release hormones gradually into the bloodstream, helping to restore hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, night sweats, low libido, and mood swings.

What are Hormone Pellets? They are solid, plant-derived pellets containing bioidentical hormones, meaning they have the same molecular structure as those produced by the body. The pellets are about the size of a grain of rice.

How do they work? During a minor office procedure, a healthcare professional inserts the pellets under the skin, usually in the upper buttocks. The pellets act as a reservoir, gradually releasing small amounts of hormone directly into the bloodstream over several months.

What are the benefits? Hormone Pellets provide long-lasting relief through a continuous and consistent dose of hormones. In addition, they are convenient, as the insertion procedure is quick, and pellets are not a daily or weekly medication to take.
