With more than a dozen years of
documented positive research, Dr. Tutera is now recognized as a
pioneer and leader in the field of Biologically Equivalent
hormone replacement therapy, or
BHRT.
“I got involved 25 years ago
when I was an OB/GYN. I noticed that there were women whose
pregnancies were ending in miscarriage that should not have.
Since progesterone is the hormone that supports pregnancy, I
started to measure the progesterone levels in pregnant women’s
blood and found that a lot of them would exhibit progesterone
deficiencies in their second month of pregnancy.
I was
aware of Biologically Equivalent hormones and thought that I
could use these to help save their pregnancies. I found a
pharmacist to produce Biologically Equivalent progesterone and indeed did
save many pregnancies.
Later on, I felt that I would
be able to help other women and men with hormone deficiencies by
using Biologically Equivalent estrogen
and testosterone pellets. I am
happy to say that this has proven to be true again and again.”

Can you remember what it felt like to be thirty? Your
libido and
sex drive were healthy. You
didn’t suffer from osteoporosis, heart disease or cancer. Why?
Because your body chemistry was in balance and protected you.
As we age, we begin to lose the ability to produce those same
levels of estrogen and
testosterone. Optimum health is
replaced with a host of age-related health problems. Most people
lose the vigor and energy for life they once had. And how many
times have you heard that we just have to accept it?
The truth is, nobody wants to get old or feel old. If you could
change the way you age – slow it down, keep feeling great –
would you do it? Sure you would. Especially if the method was
medically safe, and successfully used by
scores of men and women since the 1930’s.
And don’t be shocked if SottoPelle® helps you feel and look
younger. Or your sense of emotional and physical well-being
returns. Read the testimonials. You won’t believe the
life-altering experiences of people whose total body health has
now improved with the help of SottoPelle®
hormone replacement therapy. Farish,

Don’t let the words
hormone
replacement therapy scare you. This isn’t about
synthetic hormones (pharmaceuticals) or even natural hormones
(merely made from plants). This is about hormones –
estrogen and testosterone – that are
100% identical to those created by the human body. Yes, they are
made from botanicals, but, unlike the other natural
hormones, they possess the identical structure of human hormone.
For decades women and men have experienced the astounding
benefits of this form of natural hormone replacement—that is, Biologically Equivalent pellet
therapy. In study after study, researchers have reported
in highly respected medical journals how the use of Biologically Equivalent estrogen and
testosterone has positively
impacted diseases such as osteoporosis, prostate cancer and
HIV.

Smith, RNJ, Studd, J.W.W. (1993); Davis, S. et al (1995);
Handelsman, D. (1986); Natrajan, P. et al (1999); Davis, S. et
al (2000).
With so much negative research surrounding pharmaceutical
hormones, doesn’t it make better sense to give your body what it
recognizes and flourishes with? Of course it does. When research
has proven that hrt
testosterone and estrogen pellets show they are the obvious
healthful choice.
Menopause and andropause do not
have to mean the end of a happy, healthy, vivacious life. With
SottoPelle® natural hormone replacement therapy, you
can achieve the healthy balance of
estrogen and testosterone your body needs to maintain optimum health. SottoPelle®
replenishes what is lost in the aging process, using the
Biologically Equivalent hormones your body used to create when you were
healthy and in your prime. Not synthetic pharmaceuticals.
Don’t be surprised if your symptoms disappear – the fatigue goes
away, along with the hot flashes.
Your libido or
sex drive improves.
Erectile dysfunction
diminishes. You just won’t believe how great you will feel using
SOTTOPELLE® pellet therapy.

1 –Biologically Equivalent Structure
This means that SottoPelle® hormone pellets are not man-made
imitations. They are nothing like the synthesized hormones
manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. SottoPelle® hormone
pellets are both natural and Biologically Equivalent to the estrogen
and testosterone your own body
once produced in correct amounts.
WHAT
ARE Biologically Equivalent HORMONE PELLETS?
Biologically Equivalent hormones are exactly the same
as those produced by
the human body. They are not synthetic, simulations or
replicas.
SOTTOPELLE® pellets are derived from soy and other
natural plant-based ingredients. They are
hand-formulated in compounding pharmacies and possess
the exact hormonal structure of the human hormones estradiol (estrogen) and testosterone.
The pellets themselves are smaller than
the size of a grain of rice.

2 –Biologically Equivalent Ratio
A
woman’s body makes three different
estrogens: estrone, estradiol and estriol. Estradiol is
the predominant estrogen,
produced in twice the amount of the other
estrogens in the blood. To
function normally, a woman’s body must have this ratio of 2:1.
Balance is key when it comes to hormone
replacement therapy. This
estrogen ratio, in addition to a
proper level of Biologically Equivalent
testosterone, is what returns a woman’s body to its
normal physiology.
Men, on the other hand, produce only miniscule levels of
estrogen in their bodies, and need only testosterone
supplementation to achieve balance and return to their former
optimum well-being.

THE
IMPORTANCE OF TESTING HORMONE LEVELS
Hormone balance cannot be achieved by guesswork or
with insufficient information. In any hormone
replacement therapy, it is critical that your doctor
order the correct lab work and understand what the
results indicate—which is too often not the case.
SottoPelle® Therapy is based on a thorough
understanding of how the human endocrine system
works and what it needs to maintain balance. Once
your hormone levels are accurately measured and
analyzed, you will receive the proper dose of
SottoPelle® pellets to fulfill your body’s
requirements. Your hormone levels will thereafter be
tested periodically in order to assess the ongoing
success of your hormone replacement therapy. There
is no guesswork or “one size fits all” with
SottoPelle® pellet therapy.

3 – Biologically Equivalent Delivery
System
Just like the hormone delivery system your body is accustomed
to, SottoPelle® estradiol (estrogen)
and testosterone pellets, once
implanted, work automatically. The hormones are secreted in tiny
amounts into the blood stream daily. When more hormone is
needed—due to stress or exercise—the body will respond and
deliver more.
Top of Page
|
When you are under stress
or perform exercise, you require higher levels of
estrogen or testosterone to function optimally. Simply
put—your body has a built-in regulation system that
calls for just the right amount to be released. When
your ovaries (in women) and testicles (in men) were
functioning properly, it was their job to produce these
hormones and release them in correct amounts into the
blood stream.
In menopause and andropause,
the ovaries and testicles slow down their production of
estrogen and testosterone until they reach a point where
they are unable to keep up with the demands of the body.
SottoPelle® pellet therapy
is able to pick up where the ovaries and testicles left
off. The pellets work in partnership with your body to
provide for its needs. Any rise in your heart rate will
cause increased blood flow over the pellets, releasing
the needed amount of hormone into your blood stream. In
the case of exercise, an increased thermal release from
the muscles being exercised will also cause a release of
hormone from the pellets.

SOTTOPELLE® PRODUCES
CONSISTENT BLOOD LEVELS OF ESTROGEN
AND TESTOSTERONE
No other form of hormone delivery … whether micronized capsules,
pills, creams or patches … can produce the consistent blood
level of estrogen and
testosterone that
SOTTOPELLE® can.
This consistent level of hormone will give you the same sense of
well-being and vitality you felt in your 30’s. No kidding! And,
the longer you utilize our pellet therapy, the more results you
will see and feel. As your body returns to normalized function,
you will sleep better, think more clearly, and enjoy an increase
in your libido. Without the
hot flashes or erectile dysfunction,
you will feel like the new old you again.
SOTTOPELLE® DOES WHAT
NO OTHER FORM OF HORMONE ADMINISTRATION CAN!
For decades, studies have shown repeatedly that the
pellet delivery system for hormone replacement
outperforms all other Biologically Equivalent methods of release,
such as pills, creams or patches.
Greenblatt, R. et al (1988); Savvas, M.
et al (1992); Smith, RNJ, Studd, J.W.W. (1993).
Because pellet therapy
allows your body to receive the hormones it needs
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, this
makes estrogen and
testosterone available
when you need it in the amount that you need. There are
no peaks and valleys of hormone levels with
pellet therapy as there
are with the other delivery methods.
Thom, M. et al (1981). |

1 – Normal
levels of each hormone are achieved in the blood utilizing very
low dosages of estradiol (estrogen)
and testosterone.
Lobo,
R. (1980); Thom, M. et al (1980).
In order for other hormone therapies
(i.e. capsules, creams and sublingual tablets) to be effective,
they often must be administered in high doses twice a day. Many
women must receive anywhere from 150 mg to 300 mg a month in
order to ‘feel better.’ With sublingual tablets, there is the
added problem of incorrect compounding, which causes them to
dissolve improperly, thus rendering them useless.
Because SottoPelle® is not ingested in your stomach, then
processed by your liver, lower doses can be administered.
Biologically Equivalent estrogen
and testosterone are delivered in
the right amount at the right time without subjecting you to
excess medicine.
2 –
SottoPelle® releases estrogen
(estradiol)
and
testosterone directly into the bloodstream, thereby
bypassing the liver.
This is the way the body has always received its hormones…in a
steady amount that is secreted into the bloodstream from the
ovaries or testicles. The body needs those steady levels of
estrogen and
testosterone in the bloodstream
at all times in order to function optimally.
When you receive hormone replacement
therapy in the form of pills—whether synthetic, natural
or Biologically Equivalent—they must go through the stomach and liver.
This process not only takes longer to get
estrogen and
testosterone into your system, it
also means that you must receive much larger doses in order for
there to be any hormone available to your body at the end of its
journey. It also makes it unlikely that the natural 2:1 a woman
needs for optimal health will occur.
The only hormone replacement therapy to deliver
estrogen and
testosterone in this steady
manner for a prolonged period of time (4 – 6 months) is
SottoPelle® Biologically Equivalent pellet therapy.
3 –
SottoPelle® is the only form of
hormone
replacement therapy that can release more hormone when
the body demands it. Thom,
M., Studd, J. (1978); Thom, M. et al (1981); Cardoza, L. et al
(1984).
Pills, creams and even micronized capsules limit what your body
can receive in a 24 hour period. Once you have used up your
dose, that’s it. You must either take another pill or capsule,
or use more cream. That means you experience peaks and valleys
in your hormone levels. Instead of the steady stream of hormone
your body once produced, it gets first a lot, then a little,
then none.
If you are on the patch or receive shots, these methods are also
incapable of responding to an immediate hormone demand. Bottom
line—when the body says it needs more, it doesn’t automatically
get it.
The great thing about SOTTOPELLE® is that does respond
when your body says it needs more hormone. When a message goes
out from the brain that says I’m stressed or I need to
repair some muscles or I need to build some bone, the
pellets respond immediately by releasing more
estrogen or
testosterone. The body gets what
it asks for.

SottoPelle® is made of pure crystallized, Biologically Equivalent
estradiol (estrogen) and
testosterone.
SottoPelle® pellets
are specially formulated for us by a compounding pharmacy, using
the purest ingredients and manufactured to the highest
standards. Both the estradiol (estrogen)
and the testosterone are derived
from soy and other natural plant-based ingredients. They possess
the exact hormonal structure as human hormone.

The procedure is
simple. Using a local anesthetic, the
estrogen and testosterone pellets are individually placed painlessly under the skin in the
hip or buttock area. From start to finish, it takes less than 5
minutes! Each implantation can last from four to six months.
