FAQ

* 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
• Decreased body fat
• Increased mental clarity and focus

* How often will I need SottoPelle®?
It depends on the person, but anywhere from 4-6 months.

* Are there any side effects and/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.

Good hormone balance will greatly improve your sexual desires.

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

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

No, you do not need a referral from your physician.
