Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Q&A

What is Biote Pellet Therapy?

As we age, our hormones, such as testosterone, can decrease, leading to issues like fatigue, weight gain, decreased sexual performance, and anxiousness. We insert pellets into the body that release the hormones over time, helping alleviate issues you may be experiencing. This is a mild-painless procedure done in office. This type of therapy is for both WOMEN & MEN! If you want to start feeling STRONGER, this might be for you. 

When a patient decides to start the Biote Method of pellet therapy, they may receive as few as two subcutaneous pellet insertions per year—and any needed hormone will be readily available when the body requires it.

Originally developed in 1939 for women who underwent radical hysterectomies—and widely used in Europe and Australia—compounded bio-identical hormone pellet therapy is the longest studied form of hormone replacement therapy to date. But more study is needed to build confidence within the scientific community and to increase access, as appropriate, to a broader continuum of options for patients.

Biote seeks to be a leading industry voice for hormone optimization quality and access to information. Human hormones are inherently idiosyncratic, which means that patients need personalized, compounded solutions that offer more flexibility and accessibility than other forms of hormone therapy can offer. We are calling for more clinical research in the often misconstrued and underutilized field of hormone therapy and working to produce our own contributions to this burgeoning field by sharing our results gained from more than 2.5 million pellet insertions in just over a decade. Recognizing a wide gap exists in formal clinical research and education, Biote gathers experiential insights to inform the direction of clinical research and confirm with science the real-world data that patients experience.
