Dr. Temperli - leading endocrinologist [caption id="attachment_1990" align="alignnone" width="182"]World renown endocrinologist (hormone expert) World renown endocrinologist (hormone expert)[/caption] Hi, Doctor Temperli here with a guide to feminising hormones. I have received several emails from people confused by the seemingly countless female hormone medication on the Transformation site so I thought I would try and simplify them into groups & methods of applicationwith a brief explanation of who should take what and why HORMONE STRENGTHS Feminising hormones are grouped into ranges relating to the strength of the active ingredients with the Enhance Range representing the starter and maintenance products. All of these cost less than £99 making them affordable. Those who desire faster development and stronger formulations can select from increasingly powerful treatments, Aspire, Ultimate X-press & finally Infinity Intense for which you will need to self-certify your health status. HORMONE TABLETS Easy to take and designed for healthy patients with no history of stomach or digestive problems ENTERIC TABLETS These more powerful one-a-day molecular tablets have a special coating to ensure that they pass through the stomach before dissolving allowing better absorption into the bloodstream and ideal if you have stomach ulcers or other related health conditions HORMONE CAPSULES Easy to swallow but not suitable for vegans or some religious groups as the capsule shell contains gelatine HORMONE TIME RELEASE CAPSULES More powerful and packed full of very small particles that dissolve at different times providing a constant dose of oestrogen to be delivered over a 24-hour period from just one daily capsule HORMONE CREAMS Cream based hormones belong to a class of 'transdermal medication' which are by far the safest medication delivery method and are absorbed through the skin just where applied in just the same way that nicotine patches work HORMONE GELS Higher levels of active ingredients are made possible by using gels as the base carrier but they too are classified as 'transdermal medications' delivering hormones to specific areas where development is required, the most popular of which is feminine breast growth HORMONE ATOMISERS The molecular effect is not activated until both sets of ingredients are mixed by vigorous shaking and exposed to air, sprayed on to the skin it penetrates faster and more effectively and is the strongest transdermal delivery system HORMONE SUPPOSITORIES If you have allergies or suffer from any digestive condition then suppositories are a very effective way of delivering hormones into your bloodstream. Every product comes with a safety applicator that ensures that your sphincter muscles do not expel it nor can it penetrate too deeply. You need to leave it in place for 20 minutes to ensure total absorption HORMONE NASAL SPRAYS You will be aware that people sniff illegal substances because the delicate nasal passages provide fast absorption into the bloodstream. The same is true of hormone nasal sprays albeit without any dangerous side effects HORMONE DROPS Concentrated formulas work well when ingested orally but are not suitable if you suffer from any form of digestive condition MEDICATION STRENGTHS As you would expect the stronger the medication and more complex the delivery method affects the price at which the treatment can be supplied at. Although Transformation is a not-for-profit venture it does have to cover it's operating costs and fund on-going research and development HORMONE COSTS If you have read our transsexual founders autobiography (free to read online or download as a PDF) she married a multi-millionaire and does provide an annual subsidy that allows Transformation to operate as a not-for-profit specialist. Prices shown are the lowest possible & are not discounted but you can make savings if you choose a years supply or a fully inclusive treatment course CLEARANCE HORMONES Earlier hormone formulations are available in our clearance section at a 50% which allows those on restricted incomes to afford treatments MORE HORMONE INFORMATION Stephanie has added a lot of her enquiries and answers to the sites FAQ section but if you have a specific query that is not answered adequately please feel free to contact me at drtemperli@:transformation.co.uk or Stephanie herself who has 35 practical experience in every aspect of transitioning from male to female stephanieannelloyd@transformation.co.uk
