Why BHRT is Superior to
Other HRT Methods:
Every man and every woman is unique. That is why Nova Vita Wellness Centers works closely with compounding specialists to provide customized BHRT pellets in the best strength and dosage form to meet an individual’s specific needs and minimize the potential for side effects.

Each dose is tailored to the individual patient based off of a blood panel and a comprehensive analysis by a healthcare professional.

When compared to conventional hormone replacement therapy, studies show that pellets are superior for relief of menopausal symptoms, maintenance of bone density, restoration of sleep patterns, improved sex drive, libido, sexual response and performance.

Even patients who have failed other types of hormone therapy have a very high success rate with pellets.
How Does BHRT Work?
Our body begins to produce less hormones starting around the age of 30. Hormonesare nothing more than messenger molecules. They transmit a message from one part of the body to the cells of another, stimulating those cells to act in a specific way.

As the years go by, we have less of these special messengers within our body which means that the signals they are transmitting become less effective impacting crucial biological processes. This is where BHRT comes into play.

Why its Important for Women

In the female body, one of the most prominent components is a hormone known as estrogen. However, as women age, especially after their reproductive years, they often struggle to maintain the right estrogen balance. A decline in estrogen levels can increase the risk of a fracture from osteoporosis, and heart disease—the most common cause of death in women across the globe.

Main Benefits for Women

Women who take natural bioidentical hormones often find they can regain some of the many perks of proper estrogen levels—without any side effects. When taking these types of hormones, many women experience a boost in energy levels, mood and libido.

According to the Journal of American Medical Association, post-menopausal women who take estrogen replacement therapy, also known as ERT, also experience increased brain function and better memory retrieval. Taking estrogen hormones can not only reverse some of the signs of post-menopausal aging but actually help improve overall health and function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are BHRT Pellets?
Pellets are made up of either estradiol or testosterone. The hormones, estradiol or testosterone, are pressed or fused into very small solid cylinders. These pellets are larger than a grain of rice and smaller than a ‘Tic Tac’. In the United States, pellets are made by a licensed compounding pharmacist and delivered in sterile glass vials.
How do I know if I am a candidate for BHRT?
Some of the symptoms you might be experiencing might include excessive weight gain, low libido or sex drive, mood swings, insomnia or trouble sleeping, depression, and or irritability. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms you might be a candidate for BHRT pellet therapy.
Why are pellets optimal for hormone replacement?
Pellets deliver consistent, healthy levels of hormones for 3-6 months, depending on the dosage. They avoid the fluctuations, or ups and downs, of hormone levels seen with every other method of delivery. It is the fluctuation in hormones that causes many of the unwanted side effects and symptoms a patient experiences. Pellets do not increase the risk of blood clots like conventional or synthetic hormone replacement therapy.In studies, when compared to conventional hormone replacement therapy, pellets have been shown to be superior for relief of menopausal symptoms, maintenance of bone density, restoration of sleep patterns, improved sex drive, libido, sexual response and performance. Even patients who have failed other types of hormone therapy have a very high success rate with pellets. In addition, there is no other method of hormone delivery that is as convenient for the patient as pellets.

How long do the pellets last?
The pellets usually last between 3 and 5 months in women and 5-6 months in men. High levels of stress, physical activity, some medications and lack of sleep may increase the rate at which the pellet absorb and may require that pellets are inserted sooner in some patients.
Do the pellets need to be removed every 3-6 months?
The pellets do not need to be removed. They completely dissolve on their own.
Do men need hormone replacement therapy?
Testosterone levels begin to decline in men beginning in their 30’s. Most men maintain adequate levels of testosterone into their mid-40’s to mid-50’s, some into their late 70’s early 80’s. Men should be tested when they begin to show signs of testosterone deficiency. Even men in their 30’s can be testosterone deficient and show signs of bone loss. Most men need to be tested around 50 years of age. It is never too late to benefit from hormone therapy.
