HOW DOES THE BIOTE® METHOD WORK?

When your body’s ability to produce hormones is disrupted—such as a natural decline with age—you may notice a difference in how you feel. You may also experience brain fog, decreased energy and sex drive, loss of muscle mass, and just not feel like yourself.

​

The bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy used in the Biote® Method 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 placed subcutaneously under the skin.

​

Biote® pellets are small capsules (about the size of a grain of rice) that contain bioidentical hormones like testosterone or estrogen. A bioidentical hormone is the exact molecular structure of hormones the body produces naturally. Once pellets are inserted under the skin, the replacement hormones enter the bloodstream and dissolve over several months.

​

Hormones delivered by pellet therapy bypass the liver, do not affect clotting factors, do not increase the risk of thrombosis, and avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels some patients may experience with other methods of hormone replacement therapy.

 

Biote® bioidentical hormone pellets are made from 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.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE BIOTE®?
