The Science
The Science Behind Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Bioidentical hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone) are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body.
Pellets emerge as a prominent form of bioidentical hormone therapy, but bioidenticals can also be delivered through topical creams. In contrast, oral estrogens and testosterone injections are synthetic and often undergo different metabolisms, resulting in toxic byproducts or inadequate symptom control.
Injectable testosterone, while effective in the short term, necessitates frequent administration (every 1-2 weeks) and frequently fails to maintain consistent, optimal levels.
Bioidentical hormones, derived from natural plant sources like soy, are synthesized for medical use, offering a safer and more effective alternative to synthetic hormones.
At ReviveMD, we support all forms of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but we particularly favor bioidenticals due to their superior chemical structure and sustained delivery through pellet therapy.
Why Pellet Therapy?
Hormone pellets are densely packed formulations of bioidentical testosterone or estrogen, custom-compounded to meet each patient’s unique needs.
Our proprietary dosing algorithm considers various factors, including age, weight, activity level, and symptom severity.
Although this may seem complex, our cutting-edge dosing calculator ensures precise and individualized treatment for each patient.
The ReviveMD Difference:
Pellet therapy is a quick, in-office procedure that takes only five minutes under local anesthesia.
Our ReviveMD team has over 20 years of combined experience in pellet therapy and provides hands-on training and onboarding support to assist new providers in successfully implementing hormone therapy into their practice.
Once pellets are implanted, patients typically experience sustained symptom relief for 4-6 months—a significantly longer duration compared to other HRT methods.
As a ReviveMD affiliate, you will receive comprehensive training, ongoing education, and support for patient follow-ups, side effect management, and treatment refinements.
