Biote

Our bodies’ endocrine systems naturally produce chemical messengers called hormones that we rely on to keep many processes functioning correctly. Hormones play a vital role in nearly all bodily functions, from metabolism to sexual function to sleep and mood.

Hormone imbalances occur when the hormone levels in your bloodstream are too high or too low. These imbalances can occur with aging and other issues that cause an increase or decrease in hormone production. Unfortunately, even slight hormone imbalances can significantly affect your mind and body.

What Are Biote® Pellets?

Biote pellets are small pill-like substances used in hormone replacement therapy. These pellets are about the size of a single grain of rice, and they are inserted beneath your skin to release hormones. Also known as subcutaneous hormone pellet therapy, the Biote Method is designed to replicate the natural sex hormones we lose with age and relieve a multitude of symptoms associated with hormone imbalances.

Certified Biote providers have helped patients optimize their hormone levels for over a decade, with more than 2.5 million Biote pellets inserted. With Biote, you can take control of your health and happiness.

A Personalized Approach to Hormone Replacement

Because everyone’s aging process and hormone levels are different, each pellet is custom-compounded. This means your pellet therapy will be personalized based on your goals, health status and the hormones your body needs.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

Biote pellet therapy is also called bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) because it uses hormones that are bioidentical to the ones in our bodies. This means the hormones in the Biote pellets have the same chemical structure as hormones naturally produced by your body.

How Are Biote® Pellets Inserted?

Biote pellets are inserted beneath the skin during a 15-minute in-office procedure using local anesthetic. It is typically inserted into the hips, buttocks or thighs. After numbing with the anesthetic, a small skin incision will be made and your pellet will be inserted.

How Long Do Biote® Pellets Take to Work?

You may experience relief from certain symptoms of your hormone imbalance in as little as hours. However, most patients start to notice results in four weeks, with full results experienced after six months.

Optimal results are generally achieved after the insertion of the second pellet.
