Women seeking Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) now have Biote™ pellets as an alternative to traditional treatments. A bioidentical hormone therapy, Biote™ uses pellets made from naturally-derived hormones to replace those lost due to aging or other factors. Slowly absorbed into the system over a three-to-four-month period, Biote™ pellets are the most effective and safest way of delivering bioidentical hormones into the body.

The bioidentical hormones used in Biote™ pellets are specifically designed to match the structure of the hormones that naturally occur in our bodies. These bioidentical hormones have been found to be more effective when compared to synthetic hormones as they're better able to interact with our bodies receptors.

Benefits of biote™ hormone replacement therapy

Biote™ pellets offer many advantages when it comes to HRT for women, such as its ability to help reduce hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and mood swings due to menopause; its long-term effects on bones, muscles, and organs; and its ability to balance estrogen levels in postmenopausal women or those who have had hysterectomies or oophorectomies (ovary removal surgery).  Biote™ has also been found effective at reducing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and decreasing depression and anxiety related to hormonal imbalances.

In addition, Biote™ provides several additional benefits due to its taste-free delivery method: no need for frequent injections or taking pills every day; greater adherence with therapy because patients don’t forget doses; a reduced risk of side effects because hormones are being delivered consistently throughout treatment; a reduction in health care costs associated with drug dispensing fees/administrative costs; and convenience since there is no need for trips to health care offices for pellet insertion.

Risks of hormone replacement therapy

When deciding whether Biote™ HRT is right for you, talk with our physician at Mind and Body Performance about any potential risks or interactions with other medications you may already be taking. Your physician will assess your individual case and determine if Biote™ pellets will provide successful HRT for your needs. The safety profile of Biote™ is generally good but it may not be suitable for everyone so it’s important that you discuss your options thoroughly the physician or our team at Mind and Body Performance to help determine appropriate treatment.

Potential side effects associated with Biote™ include nausea, headache, bloating, weight gain, thinning hair, acne flare-ups, menstrual cycle changes, darkening skin patches on the face or body, breast tenderness or enlargement (although this usually goes away after a few months of use), and high blood pressure (can usually be managed by adjusting dosage). Individuals over 60 years old or who smoke cigarettes also significantly increase the risk of stroke associated with using Biote™ pellets.

Overall, Biote™ pellets offer an effective solution for women seeking hormone replacement therapy who want an alternative option from traditional treatments such as pills or injections every day. Long-term effects on bones, muscles, and organs as well as their convenience factor compared to other forms of HRT treatments makes them a great option all around!
