Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy for Men

Low testosterone levels are incredibly debilitating for both men and women, hindering all aspects of your life. Hormone pellet therapy is a highly effective option for relieving the negative side effects of hormonal imbalance so you feel your best again.

Placed just under your skin, these pellets provide a steady and consistent dose for months at a time. This means no self-injections, creams, or pills.

At TheraPellET, we use our patented Virden Method™, which provides superior comfort and results. Unlike traditional methods that use a sharp trocar, we use a blunt-edged, atraumatic trocar that minimizes bleeding, bruising, and discomfort. It’s a more gentle approach that leads to effective and predictable hormone absorption.

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy for Men Include:

Consistent Testosterone Levels

One of the main benefits of hormone pellet therapy is that it provides consistent testosterone levels, alleviating your risk of those nasty low T side effects. The key word here is “consistent,” as pellet therapy eliminates the hormonal peaks and valleys often experienced with injections. It also removes the daily fluctuations and hassle associated with creams or gels. This steady supply keeps your energy stable, mood balanced, and you free from other dramatic symptom swings.

Increased Energy & Vitality

Low testosterone can cause chronic fatigue and a significant drop in motivation. Pellet therapy, and its mission to increase your testosterone levels, directly combats this. Men frequently experience sustained energy from morning to night, eliminating the afternoon crash. Don’t worry, this isn’t a temporary boost like a midday cup of Joe—it’s a sustained level of energy every day.

Improved Muscle Mass

Testosterone is the primary hormone responsible for building muscle. When your levels decline, it can be difficult to build and maintain muscle mass, regardless of how hard you hit the gym. By restoring your testosterone to its optimal range, your body can better build and repair muscle so you experience a stronger, leaner, and more powerful physique.


One 2017 study published in the The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that men given testosterone replacement experienced greater improvements in muscle and power when compared to the placebo group (1). A more recent 2025 study also found that long-term testosterone replacement in older men with lower T levels increases muscle mass (2).

Better Sexual Health & Libido

Because testosterone is a major player in male sexual function, men treated with testosterone therapy frequently report a dramatic increase in their sex drive. We also hear that men experience stronger, more reliable erectile function and better overall stamina. 

One 2022 review noted that testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is used as a medical treatment for men with low testosterone because of the proven connection between testosterone and its ability to influence sexual desire (3).

A 2024 study found that testosterone replacement therapy improved sexual activity,  and sexual desire, while reducing symptoms of fatigue and mood changes (4). This study did note limitations in improving erectile function.

Enhanced Mental Clarity & Mood

Men experiencing low levels often report debilitating “brain fog,” making it difficult to concentrate and recall information. Irritability, anxiety, and a generally low mood are also uncomfortable and commonly reported side effects. Restoring your hormonal balance helps stabilize your mood, reduce feelings of anxiety and irritability, and promote a more positive outlook.

One review published in European Urology Focus found TRT can reduce depressive symptoms in men who had mild depression (5). A review published in Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management notes that testosterone replacement therapy can have variable effects on mood, with studies leaning in both directions (6).

May Support Bone & Heart Health

With age comes declining testosterone levels and older men tend to experience weaker bones and an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Increasing your T levels has been reported to help offset this, although research is mixed. One 2023 review found TRT to be effective at increasing bone mineral density in men, while a 2024 article published in the The New England Journal of Medicine found that TRT did not improve bone health as it relates to preventing fractures (7,8).

For cardiovascular health, healthy testosterone levels have been linked to better overall heart health and a reduced risk of long-term cardiovascular issues. Research has found that TRT can have positive effects on heart health, improving blood flow and blood sugar control among other benefits (9).

Who Is a Good Candidate for Pellet Therapy?

Men who have been diagnosed with low testosterone levels, or who suspect they may have low levels. Side effects of low testosterone include decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue and loss of energy, mood changes, reduced muscle mass and bone density, sweating and hot flashes, and hair loss, among other symptoms.
