History of Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy
Estradiol and Testosterone pellets have been present in the United States since 1939. Even though their presence in the medical industry has been lengthy, many physicians have not been aware of them. Extensive research has been done in England and Europe where pellet therapy is used quite extensively. Research shows the long term benefits produce outstanding results.
The major reason why hormone pellets have not been adopted by mainstream medicine is due to the complexity of the production of the pellets. Certified pharmacies must make the pellets which removes the Drug Companies grasp of this medication. Since Drug Companies are not involved in the production of hormone pellets, there is no advertising nor encouragement to use this highly effective bioidentical hormone therapy. Hormone Pellets are a FDA-Approved pharmaceutical product.
It is for these reasons why you don’t hear much about Pellet Therapy through different media sources even though the therapy is highly effective.
