WHAT ARE PELLETS FOR WOMEN?

BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Bioidentical refers to how molecularly similar the supplemental hormone is to the human hormone. People who lack certain hormones or who have too much of a certain hormone may benefit from BHRT.

WHAT IS THE INSERTION PROCESS?

WHAT ARE PELLETS FOR WOMEN?

BHRT pellets for women are inserted subcutaneously in the upper buttocks. They are made of custom-compounded hormones and binders that hold them together. Every batch of hormones is tested for potency, sterility, and endotoxins, ensuring that patients are provided the best possible therapy to expedite their journey towards optimal wellness.

WHAT IS THE INSERTION PROCESS?

The BHRT pellet insertion process is straightforward, fast, and simple. New patients will first schedule an office visit to have hormone levels tested. Based on a consultation and lab work, your provider will determine if you are a candidate for BHRT. Custom pellet therapy insertion will take place either during this appointment or during a quick follow-up.

More information from our providerS

Pellets are small capsules (about the size of a grain of rice) that contain bioidentical hormones like testosterone or estrogen. A bioidentical hormone is the exact molecular structure of hormones the body produces naturally.

They are inserted under the skin, where hormones enter the bloodstream as they dissolve over several months. Studies show that patients may see the effects of hormone optimization up to four weeks after a pellet insertion. Everyone is unique and some people may feel the effects immediately, while others may take up to two or more pellet insertions before they feel full effects.

Hormones delivered by pellet therapy bypass the liver, do not affect clotting factors, do not increase the risk of thrombosis, and avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels some patients may experience.

Biote bioidentical hormone pellets are made from soy or the yam plant to create estradiol and/or testosterone molecules, unlike synthetic hormones, which are made from animal parts or urine and have a different molecular structure than what the body produces.
