What is Biote Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT) Pellet Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy with Biote is a personalized approach to hormone replacement. It allows a patient’s body to absorb the right level of hormones at the right time using a delivery method the body can process efficiently.

Pellets are small capsules (about the size of a TicTac) that contain bioidentical hormones like testosterone or estrogen. A bioidentical hormone is the exact molecular structure of hormones the body produces naturally. Biote bioidentical hormone pellets are made from soy or the yam plant to create estradiol and/or testosterone molecules, unlike synthetic hormones, which are made from animal parts or urine and have a different molecular structure than what the body produces.

The Biote Procedure

Based on a comprehensive consultation and extensive lab work, our providers will determine if you are a candidate for hormone replacement therapy.

Biote pellets are inserted under the skin, where hormones enter the bloodstream as they dissolve over several months. The pellets are inserted using a special syringe into the buttocks, thighs, or near the hip area. The average insertion procedure takes less than 15 minutes. Our studies show that patients may see the effects of hormone optimization up to four weeks after a pellet insertion. Everyone is unique and some people may feel the effects immediately, while others may take up to two or more pellet insertions before they feel full effects.

The post-insertion process involves special care for the first few days only. After pellet insertion, it is best to obtain from lower body exercise for a few days. Walking should be fine, but strenuous activity is not recommended. Avoid bathtubs, swimming and hot tubs; however, showers are fine after 24 hours. Aver removal of the bandage, normal activity can resume.

What are the Side Effects of Biote therapy?

There are no serious side effects associated with BHRT, but some individuals may experience mild side effects, like skin irritation where the bandages are placed, headaches, blurred vision, and mild acne. Breast tenderness, depression, irregular periods, and hair thinning are also possible side effects.
