Oral hormone therapy offers a simple and familiar way to support balance. Depending on your needs, hormones can be compounded into traditional capsules or rapid-dissolve tablets that melt under the tongue.

Rapid-dissolve formulations are a great option for those who have difficulty swallowing pills or who experience digestive or absorption challenges.

While nearly any hormone can be made in an oral form, it’s not always the best fit for every patient. The way your body metabolizes hormones can influence which option is best for you.

Topical hormone creams offer a gentle, non-invasive way to deliver hormones through the skin. Because absorption can vary from person to person, some individuals are naturally better absorbers than others. Your provider will help monitor your response and adjust as needed to ensure the right balance for your body.

For many people, cream therapy is a wonderful option, especially for those who don’t absorb well through the digestive system or who prefer not to give themselves injections. Creams can also be used as a complementary therapy alongside oral or injectable forms, depending on your individual treatment plan.

Injection therapy delivers hormones directly into the bloodstream, allowing for precise and consistent dosing. This method bypasses both the digestive system (as with oral forms) and the skin barrier (as with creams).

For individuals who are concerned about transference from topical creams, injections offer a controlled alternative. Each dose is measured precisely, helping maintain steady hormone levels throughout the week.

Additionally, this method can be used as a complementary therapy alongside oral or cream forms, depending upon your treatment plan and health goals.
