What Is BioTE Hormone Therapy and How Does It Work?
BioTE hormone therapy is a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that uses bioidentical hormone pellets to address hormonal imbalances caused by aging or other factors. The term "bioidentical" refers to hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. BioTE therapy uses these hormones, often in the form of pellets made from estrogen or testosterone, which are implanted under the skin. The pellets release hormones steadily over a period of several months, mimicking the body’s natural hormonal production. The therapy is commonly used to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, perimenopause, and andropause, as well as other conditions linked to hormonal imbalance.
The primary advantage of BioTE hormone therapy is its method of delivery. The pellets are inserted just beneath the skin, typically in the hip or buttock area, and gradually release hormones over time. This slow and consistent hormone release helps to restore hormonal balance in the body, addressing a variety of symptoms such as mood swings, low energy, weight gain, and reduced libido. Unlike daily pills or creams, BioTE offers a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution for individuals seeking to improve their hormone levels naturally. Healthcare providers tailor the dosage based on individual hormone levels and needs, ensuring a personalized approach to hormone replacement therapy.
