BioTE pellets are a type of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. These pellets are inserted under the skin within fat tissue.These pellets contain bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces.
The pellets slowly release hormones into the body, providing a steady level of hormones for up to 4–6 months. Unlike other forms of hormone therapy, like pills, injections or patches, BioTE pellets provide a steady level of hormones instead of fluctuating levels.
Prior to initiating pellet therapy, a hormone consultation to review past medical history, risk and benefits is required. Additional items discussed includes lab work to assess hormone levels. BioTE Certified Providers personalize the dose for each patient based on lab work and symptom management.
