Testosterone Pellets
The benefits of hormone replacement for both men and women
are well known and most people are now aware that it in fact it is does not
cause cancer and all the other bad things that used to be rumored. But it appears that not many people
are familiar with pellet therapy. Pellets are a particularly convenient method
for people on the go, especially men.
That's because a lot of men don’t like to have to use something everyday,
especially not creams and gels. Many prefer shots but then they get tired of
being stuck. Pellets are done 2 or 3 times a year and that’s it.
So what are pellets?
They are a method of administering hormones and are inserted
just under the skin of the buttock. These subcutaneous pellets have been used
for decades and are plant- based. More specifically they are made from wild
yams. Testosterone is the commonest hormone administered by pellet but both
estrogen and progesterone can be added.
Pellets avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels seen in
other methods. They have very few side effects and peak levels occur in 4
weeks. Women will begin experiencing benefits after a week and men within two weeks.
Symptoms of menopause and andropause are relieved for
months. Pellet users like them so much that their continuation rates
are reported to be over 90%.
In women 90%of vaginal atrophy and dryness is resolved and
75% of mood disorders improved. Men have an over 95% rate of increased energy
and muscle tone with resolution of erectile dysfunction related issues.
Another advantage is that testosterone cannot be spread to
other family members in this way.
There are research papers that have come out showing that
not only does testosterone prevent breast cancer it can be used to suppress and treat it. This is exciting news because it means it is even safe for breast cancer survivors (usually given with aromatase inhibitors). Other actions of testosterone include:
Reduces fatigue, corrects insomnia, improves memory, focus and
concentration. Increases libido and increases lean muscle mass.
