What is Pellet Therapy?

Pellets are tiny, custom-compounded therapies for symptoms that stem from hormonal imbalances. This therapy keeps hormone levels consistent through the day and avoids rollercoaster-like effects from orally administered or topically administered hormones. The pellets BioTE uses contains bio-identical hormones, derived from natural sources. The pellets contain hormones identical to the ones found in the human body. Studies have shown that bio-identical hormones have fewer side effects than synthetic hormones

How long does a Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Pellet take to work?

As each patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Most patients report some symptom resolution in as little as two to four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. Your journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than one to two weeks for your hormones to get out of balance, so expect it to take time to resolve.

WHAT Is BHRT?

BHRT stands for bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Bio-identical refers to how chemically similar the supplemental hormone is to the human hormone in the body. This is in contrast to synthetic hormones which do not have this similarity. Other supplemental hormones such as the ones administered by conventional physicians are not bio-identical. Bio-identical are derived from plants while conjugated hormones are derived from animals. Hormone replacement therapy is the purpose of the bio-identical hormones. People who lack hormones at certain consistent levels or who have too much of a certain hormone may benefit from BHRT.
