Formulation Onset Peak Duration Advantages Disadvantages
Oral capsules Rapid 1-3 hours 8-12 hours Easy; flexible dosing First pass metabolism
Sublingual Fast 30 mins 4-6 hours Bypasses digestion Frequent dosing

Pellets 1-3 days 4 weeks 3-6 months Stable levels; long duration Minor insertion procedure

There are also important distinctions between the effects of different types of hormones that guide our prescriptions.

Cortisol reduces inflammation but elevated levels encourage belly fat deposition. DHEA boosts libido, energy levels, and immunity. Estrogens, like estradiol and estriol, alleviate hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and support heart health, bone density, and neuroprotection. The role of progesterone spans from regulating menstrual cycles to promoting restful deep sleep and calm moods.

Testosterone, along with supporting sexual desire and performance, increases muscle mass, motivation, confidence and cognitive abilities. Balancing all these vital hormones relieves distressing mind-body symptoms that impede health and happiness. We work with you to find your optimal balance.
