What is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Hormone Pellet Therapy uses hormones made from natural plant sources to reproduce the body’s normal hormones. Many people have found that bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants makes them feel fabulous. Implants, placed under the skin, continuously release small doses of hormones that provide the best results.
Unlike common adhesive skin patches and oral forms of therapy – which can produce a “roller coaster” effect in your hormone levels, causing mood and energy fluctuations, BioTE® Medical Hormone Pellet Therapy is the only method of hormone therapy that provides sustained hormone levels throughout the day for up to three to four months for women and four to six months for men without any roller coaster effect.
Because only hormones that are completely natural are used, pellet therapy is ideal for those of us who want the benefits of a natural hormone without the drawbacks of a synthetic.

How should I dose?
Proper hormone levels are determined by the BioTE® comprehensive blood work analysis. Unique dosing is made just for you, so it’s exactly what your body needs. Pellets deliver pure, bio-identical hormones directly into the bloodstream 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for up to 6 months (for men). Pills, patches, creams and shots cannot provide a steady delivery of hormones 24/7. Pellets provide a constant supply of hormones that your body recognizes as its own, which significantly reduces the chance of adverse side effects.

Hormones can rejuvenate, regenerate and restore. They are powerful chemical messengers that circulate throughout the body and travel to specific cells to orchestrate many vital internal functions. But even a small fluctuation in hormone levels can cause big changes at the cellular level—or disrupt the delicate balance throughout your entire body. Too much or too little of a hormone can have serious consequences for your overall health and well-being. Our hormone pellet therapy can help.

Maintaining this delicate hormone balance is one reason to be cautious when selecting hormone replacement therapy. The goal should always be hormonal balance that is predicated on research rather than experimentation or guessing. Many therapies merely attempt to replenish estrogen and/or progesterone and testosterone, but they never achieve homeostasis. Any endocrinologist will tell you that hormone balance is the foundation of health.
