Frequently Asked Questions

What are SottoPelle® bio-identical hormones?

They are derived from a natural plant source of soy and hand compounded to be biologically identical to human form of estradiol and testosterone. The body is given what it can no longer produce.

* Relief from anxiety and depression

How often will I need SottoPelle®?

It depends on the person, but anywhere from 4-6 months.

Are there any side effects or complications?

Unlike other forms of hormone therapy, there are virtually no side effects.

I get horrible headaches, will this help me?

Yes! SottoPelle® has had great success with hormonally related headaches.

Why doesn't my doctor suggest SottoPelle® as an option?

The great majority of physician training is on synthetic hormones. More than likely they were never trained on the use of bio-identical hormone therapy.

If I am a woman, do I still need estrogen?

Bio-identical absorbable estrogen is the most important hormone for a woman to protect her against heart attack, stroke, as well as osteoporosis and Alzheimer's. Synthetic estrogen taken orally does not offer the universal benefits.

I have no libido, what will this do for that if anything?

Good hormone balance will greatly improve your sexual desires.

Will I grow unwanted hair from the testosterone?

There is less chance of hair growth with bio-identical hormones.

Do I need other medications?

Unless the uterus has been removed, women will also need progesterone, to protect the uterine lining.
