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.
