What can Biote® treat?

What women are saying about Biote.

We offer bio-identical compounded hormone replacement therapy for women who are up to date on their mammogram and gynecological wellness exams, do not have a history of any female cancers and are experiencing symptoms of menopause.

Maybe you are in menopause, maybe you're in perimenopause, or maybe you're in your late 20s or 30s, and you're experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance! Could that be possible? Absolutely!

The hormones of a woman's body are delicate, and the slightest changes in life can throw those beautifully balanced hormones out of whack.

What hormones are we talking about? We are talking about estrogen, progesterone, AND testosterone.

It is a common misconception that women should have low testosterone levels. But this is not the case. Testosterone in women is important for skin collagen production and skin elasticity, muscle development, bone health, sex drive, red blood cell production, reproductive health, and brain health. If you know you can't be in menopause yet, but you are struggling with symptoms of menopause, then your testosterone might be too low. Bio-identical (aka human-identical) hormone replacement might be right for you.

If you're in perimenopause or menopause, and you want to manage your symptoms, then Biote might also be right for you!

What is Biote?

Biote Hormone Pellet Therapy is matched to the needs your body has, based on your lab levels.

Biote uses bio-identical hormones, meaning the chemical structure is the same as the hormones produced by your body.

It is a better option for your body rather than oral and topical hormones that some doctors prescribe.  

Once the pellets are inserted into your body, the hormone is available when your body needs it.

We like this option because unlike oral and topical, the pellets offer a consistent release and may help prevent rollercoaster-like effects.

What Is Biote’s Method of Pellet Therapy?

Pellets are tiny, custom-compounded therapies for symptoms that stem from hormonal imbalances. The Biote Method may help keep patient’s hormone levels consistent throughout the day. The pellet therapy that Biote trains on uses hormones that are bioidentical to those found in the human body.

During pellet therapy, pellets are inserted subcutaneously into the body in a quick, simple, in-office procedure. These pellets will gradually be absorbed, dispersing hormones throughout the body.

Hormone replacement patients receive as few as three bioidentical hormone pellet insertions per year. They don’t have to think about it this way, and the hormone is available when their bodies need it. It’s a simple, one-and-done process, and there’s no need to worry about remembering to take a pill or shot every day.

What Type of Pharmacies Do We Work With At Biote?

The bioidentical hormones that Biote Certified Providers use are custom-compounded. Biote trains our providers to work with highly specialized outsourcing facilities during every step of the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) process. The pharmacies providing pellets employ rigorous standards and practices to ensure the sterility and potency of every pellet batch distributed.

What Kind of Estrogen Is in the Bioidentical Pellets?

The Biote Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses bioidentical, meaning the chemical structure is the same as the hormones produced by our body, estradiol. Our approach to BHRT using pellets may help avoid unwanted side effects.

Why choose Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

Each patient’s symptoms are unique, and so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization through BHRT using pellets. Most bioidentical hormone replacement therapy patients report some relief in as little as four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. The bioidentical hormones for our hormone pellet therapy will be customized to fit your patient’s specific needs.

How Long Does a BHRT Pellet Take to Work?

Each hormone replacement therapy patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Most hormone therapy patients report some relief in as little as four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. The bioidentical hormone replacement therapy journey will be customized to fit your patient’s specific needs.
