WHY BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES?
Introducing BioTE
To restore and optimize hormones that have the same chemical structure as the hormones you used to make and help you live a happier, healthier life! BioTE pellets are made in FDA-regulated pharmacies (503B facilities); they are pure and the variance from pellet to pellet is no more than 3-5%. The hormones we would balance are testosterone, thyroid hormones, and for women, depending on whether you are pre-menopausal or post-menopausal and have a uterus or not, you may need estrogen and progesterone.​
Customized
Easy Compliance
Plant-Based
Consistent
Your dose is personalized based on your specific labs and symptoms.
Pills, patches or injections require more effort; daily, twice weekly, or weekly dosing. Pellets are placed by a physician every 3-4 months in women and every 5-6 months in men.
BioTE hormones are derived from yams (no allergens). The hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your ovary or testes make, unlike synthetic hormones which predispose you to higher risk of stroke, heart attack, blood clots, and breast cancer.
Unlike the roller coaster effect of other hormonal delivery systems, pellet therapy gives consistent hormone levels that depend on your level of cardiovascular activity.
