BHRT is a way of replacing the bodies hormones in the same molecular form that men and women lose production of over their lifetime.

La Relance utilizes EvexiPEL® which offers a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapies, subcutaneous bio-identical hormone replacement therapy utilizes bio-identical hormones derived from natural, plant-based substances. Unlike synthetic hormones, the molecular structure of the bio-identical hormones – testosterone and/or estrogen is human identical. Since they are derived from nature, plant-based hormones metabolize in the body, just the way nature intended.

The pellets contain hormones, which mimic (are bio-identical to) the effects of hormones in your body, and are gradually released into your bloodstream.

The pellets are released based on your cardiac output – how much physical activity you do, how much stress you’re under, etc.
