Hormone pellets

Hormone balance is a crucial part of what keeps our bodies healthy and fit as we age, and when hormone imbalance occurs, treatments are necessary. Bio-identical hormone pellet therapy has become the preferred method to treat hormone deficiencies at Clearwater. This treatment method avoids the many disadvantages of treatment alternatives like messy daily creams or painful weekly injections by needle.

Pellets, about the size of a grain of rice, are implanted under the skin where they release a steady flow of medicine over 3-4 months. Our bio-identical pellets are natural. The chemical formulation is an identical match to the hormones created in your own body!

Prior to treatment, our physicians and providers use your individual lab results to create a customized treatment plan. Based on the results of your lab work, your weight, height and gender, our compounding pharmacy creates a custom hormone pellet formulation just for you. Once implanted, hormones are released as they are needed based on your activity level, mimicking the body’s natural behavior.
