How Do VIVE® Hormone Pellets Compare To Pills, Creams, Patches, Herbs, Or Vitamins?

Dr. Enrique Jacome MD

It is difficult for prescription hormone pills, creams, gels, and patches to produce a normal physiologic state because they cannot deliver the varying amounts of hormones required by the body at different times, causing a peak-and-valley or roller-coaster effect, and subjecting one to potentially excessive dosages. Because hormone pills are absorbed through the digestive tract and pass through the liver before the body can absorb them, some of the hormone can be lost in the process. No over-the-counter herbal/vitamin product can return your hormones to normal physiologic levels, and any claims to the contrary are simply untrue.

There are no peaks and valleys of hormone levels with Vive pellet therapy. Just like the natural, built-in hormone-delivery system of your body (endocrine system), pellets work on an ongoing basis, automatically delivering correct amounts of hormones directly into the bloodstream when you need it. This consistent level of hormones can give you the same sense of well-being and vitality you felt in your 30’s. And when your body returns to normalized physiologic function, you may sleep better, think more clearly, and enjoy an increase in your energy levels, as well as your sex drive. You could feel like the old you again!

What Are VIVE® Natural Hormone Pellets?

Dr. Enrique Jacome MD

VIVE® Natural Hormone Pellets, a new hormone replacement therapy center, is now open in Rancho Mirage. Our center offers individualized natural hormone pellets to help men and women have more energy and achieve better overall health, both physically and emotionally.

Hormone levels decline naturally with age. Some men and women experience the negative effects of hormone imbalance as early as their late 30's, but most will feel the effects by the age of 50. VIVE Natural Hormone Pellets are used to treat such symptoms as lack of energy, lack of focus, decrease in sex drive, mood swings, insomnia, depression, aches, pains and stiffness as well as a decrease in bone density and muscle mass.

We are very excited to introduce VIVE replacement therapy. Our hormone replacement therapy is an innovative way to help our patients feel young again - like they did in their 30s. It is the ultimate option for long lasting hormone replacement therapy today.

VIVE provides an Individualized approach to hormone replacement therapy. Treatment is centered around your personal hormonal evaluation, after a thorough assessment a customized plan is developed. VIVE uses high quality Biologically Identical Hormones to replace your needs. These natural hormones are compounded and fused into very small cylinders also know as pellets. 

VIVE pellets are inserted into the patient in a simple in-office procedure. Bio-identical hormones are absorbed directly into the blood stream by passing the liver thus avoiding production of detrimental bi-products that increase the risk of clots and alter your lipid profile. Unlike creams, gels, mists and oral tablets that require daily use, VIVE pellets provide patients a long lasting continuous effect that usually last between 3-4 months in women and 4-5 months in men.

We have been working with pellets for over seven years. In addition, I have over 20 years of medical
experience as an OBGYN and as a leading expert in the field of Laparoscopy and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery. I am honored to have been the first physician in Riverside County to perform robotic surgery using the da Vinci S HD system. To date, our office has performed more than 300 robotic assisted surgeries.
