The problem with hormone replacement Pills
Pills can cause peaks and valleys and require you take something everyday. Additionally, pills go through first pass metabolism in the liver so only a small percentage become active in the body. Pills can place a lot of stress on the liver and its common for liver enzymes to increase with prolonged ingestion of hormone pills.
The problem with Testosterone creams and gels
Creams and patches require daily or weekly application. These topical delivery systems do not always effectively penetrate the skin and so their efficacy is greatly reduced in many individuals. Many testosterone creams require topical dosing twice a day. The cream can also transfer to others like spouses, babies and pets causing unwanted effects.
The problem with injectable Testosterone.
Frequently, men complain of feeling a roller coaster effect. Where they feel good when the injection is first given but the beneficial effects almost always wear off before it is time to get the next shot. This can make men feel like they are riding on a roller coaster of peaks and troughs.
Testosterone Pellet Therapy
Pellet Therapy can help your body return to a normal youthful balance and an optimal state. Pellet Therapy delivers bio-identical hormone to your body. This is same type of hormone that your body produces naturally. (Synthetic hormones were used in the past with devastating health outcomes). Today, pellet therapy can be used to deliver personalized dosages that are on-demand via a pellet. If your body requires more hormone because of vigorous exercise, bio-identical pellets will deliver more hormone to your system to keep up with the demand. Implantation takes less than 10 minutes. A small incision is made below the beltline in the rear hip region and a personalized dose of pellets are inserted into the subcutaneous fat. A small water-proof bandage is worn for 5 days. The effects of the pellets can be felt as early as two weeks after insertion.
