Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: Pro-Pell

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: Pro-Pell (BHRT) at Nova Vita Wellness Centers, is a revolutionary method for aiding hormonal balance for men and women with minimal side effects and fewer medical office visits.

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.

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.

An initial consultation with one of our healthcare providers will review your needs, goals, lifestyle, and other individual factors to begin creating a treatment specific to you as an individual.

Following the consultation, a laboratory will provide an in-depth report based upon a blood panel to identify target areas to help you achieve your unique hormone balance. This will focus on micronutrient levels, hormones, and other factors discussed in your consultation to further customize your replacement therapy.

Our customized dosing calculator uses a 2-step process to gather patient information regarding lifestyle and behavior, sleep patterns, stress factors, and hormone influence to identify the initial criteria for the patient. We use this information with other important clinical data, medical history, current medications, and more to further identify needs and areas if and where medications may be helpful. An individualized custom dose will be recommended for each patient based on the criteria.

Your personal treatment plan will be made up of a variety of factors based on your results.

These pellets are the most natural way to promote the balance of hormones in men and women. They deliver a consistent release of hormone levels over an extended period of time, typically 3–6 months.

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.

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.

Decreasing blood pressure and plaque accumulation in the arteries

Increasing metabolic rate

Regulating body temperature

Decreasing risk of cataracts, colon cancer, glaucoma and tooth loss

Helping maintain bone density

Enhancing magnesium uptake and utilization

Andropause (also known as the male menopause) is the gradual decline in testosterone levels in middle-aged men. These declining testosterone levels have numerous signs and symptoms, and may include among others:

Many men with low testosterone levels who undergo testosterone treatment report improved sex drive, boosted mood, and increased energy levels. Testosterone also increases bone density, muscle mass, and insulin sensitivity in men.

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.

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.

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.

After pellets are inserted, patients may notice that they have more energy, sleep better and feel happier. Muscle mass and bone density will increase while fatty tissue decreases. Patients may notice increased strength, coordination and physical performance. They may see an improvement in skin tone and hair texture. Concentration and memory may improve as will overall physical and sexual health.

Some patients begin to “feel better” within 24-48 hours while others may take a week or two to notice a difference.Transform is a program created for patients. 

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.

The pellets do not need to be removed. They completely dissolve on their own.

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.
