Biote® Pellet Therapy: Consistent, Customized Hormone Balance

The modern, hands-off way to keep hormones at optimal levels for months—without daily pills, messy creams, or weekly injections.

What Exactly Is Biote® Pellet Therapy?

Biote® pellets are tiny cylinders—about the size of a grain of rice—containing bioidentical hormones compounded to match your personal lab values. Inserted just beneath the skin, each pellet releases a steady 24-hour dose, mimicking the body’s natural rhythmic secretion.

  • Bioidentical: Plant-derived molecules identical to human hormones.
  • Customized: Doses compounded for your labs, not a one-size script.
  • Continuous: 3-5 months of stable delivery—no daily highs and lows.
  • Convenient: 10-minute in-office procedure; zero maintenance afterward.

How the Pellets Are Made

Pellets are compounded in FDA-registered outsourcing facilities. Each batch is:

  • Triple-tested for potency, sterility, and endotoxins.
  • Pressed with pharmaceutical-grade binders that dissolve completely.
  • Shipped to our clinic in temperature-controlled packaging for maximum integrity.

Your Five-Step Pellet Journey

  1. Comprehensive Labs – We measure 20+ markers: hormones, thyroid, lipids, vitamin D, inflammation.
  2. Personal Consultation – Align symptoms, goals, and lifestyle with your lab data.
  3. Precision Compounding – Your dosage is calculated using Biote’s proprietary algorithm.
  4. Quick Insertion – Under local anesthetic, a pellet is placed through a tiny incision (gluteal area). A steri-strip covers the site—no stitches.
  5. Follow-Up & Fine-Tuning – Labs at week 4–6 confirm absorption; next pellet scheduled before levels dip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the insertion hurt?

Most clients describe mild pressure; local lidocaine keeps the area numb. Discomfort is minimal and subsides in a few hours.

Can I work out afterward?

Light activity is fine after 24 hours; avoid heavy glute/leg workouts and submersion (hot tubs, pools) for 3–4 days.
