For women, bio-identical estrogen can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, stroke, and heart attack.

Is BioTE hormone pellet therapy better than other hormone replacement or supplement options?

BioTE offers several advantages over the other options available, including patches, shots, pills, and creams. BioTE hormone pellet therapy provides a bio-identical hormone that the body doesn’t metabolize into byproducts. Instead, the body is able to extract the exact amount of hormone that it needs from the pellets. The pellets contain no synthetic ingredients or fillers, so they will dissolve on their own over time.
