The Biote Method of hormone replacement pellet therapy is the preferred choice of over 6,400+ physicians. Biote has performed more than 2.5 million hormone pellet insertions throughout the company’s decade-long history and have continually improved lives through pellet therapy. 

When starting the process of pellet therapy, a patient will receive as few as two subcutaneous pellet insertions per year. The BHRT pellets are small capsules (about the size of a grain of rice) that contain bioidentical hormones like testosterone or estrogen. The pellets are placed under the skin and release a continuous stream of bioidentical hormones to be absorbed into the body allowing a patient’s body to absorb the right levels of hormones at the right time using a delivery method the body can process efficiently. Full hormone optimization can take up to six months with some patients reporting feeling symptom relief in only several hours or up to four weeks. 

Pellet therapy allows hormones to bypass the liver while not affecting clotting factors, avoiding an increased risk of thrombosis, and avoiding the fluctuations of hormone levels. Biote bioidentical hormone pellets are made from soy or the yam plant, unlike synthetic hormones which are made from animal parts or urine and contain a different molecular structure than what the body produces.
