What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is an effective treatment using hormones that are identical to the hormones naturally made by your body. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is transforming the lives of men and women as they enter the later stages of life. It provides an alternative to hormones that are synthetic, such as injectable testosterone, or hormones concentrated from horse urine (Premarin).
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is made by compounding pharmacists in customized dosages based on the individual needs of the patient as opposed to the narrow choices available with mass-produced, or “one size fits all” hormone therapies.

What is HTCA Pellet Therapy?
HTCA offers BHRT using HTCA’s Pellet Therapy. Bioidentical Pellet Therapy is a hormone replacement method in which the natural hormones men and women lose with age are replaced. The pellets contain either estradiol or testosterone, which are pressed or fused into tiny solid cylinders. When administered, they deliver consistent and healthy levels of hormones for 3–5 months in women and 4–6 months in men.
Pellets dissolve inside the body on their own and are re-implanted as needed depending on how rapidly the patient metabolizes the hormones. Pellets avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels seen with other delivery methods, providing more consistent hormone levels over a longer period.
Why HTCA Pellet Therapy
There are many delivery methods that can be used to administer BHRT; however, data shows that pellet therapy is the most efficient in terms of absorption and availability for both men and women. HTCA Pellet Therapy offers numerous benefits, including:
