What Male Hormone Imbalance Therapies Exist?
Patients can choose three common paths for a course of medical treatment for a hormonal imbalance in men. The first is doing nothing to solve your patient’s problems and hoping that they will feel better. The second is going the conventional medicine route and prescribing medication after medication to treat their symptoms. The third is to consider the perspective of preventative medicine by optimizing hormones with the Biote Method.
What Therapy Does Biote Use to Optimize Male Hormones?
Patients have reported that one path to the relief of their hormone imbalance symptoms is through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT. Biote Certified Providers use pellets, which can be inserted during an office visit in only a few minutes. Within up to two to four weeks after pellet insertion, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may begin to relieve some symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men. Many report feeling the full benefits of BHRT after their second insertion.

What Are Male BHRT Pellets?
BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, the type of therapy Biote Certified Providers use. Bioidentical is used to convey that the molecular structure is the same as the hormones produced by the human body. Men who lack hormones at certain consistent levels or who have too much of a certain hormone may benefit from BHRT for men.
The hormones used in Biote’s Method of BHRT are delivered to men in pellet form, and within up to two to four weeks, patients may begin to feel hormone therapy benefits. Some report feeling the full benefits of BHRT after the second insertion. Hormone therapy has helped numerous men regain their hormone balance and optimize their testosterone levels.
Biote utilizes pellet therapy that contains bioidentical hormones custom compounded in pharmacies within the US. These pellets are inserted subcutaneously in the body and provide continuous therapeutic support for many conditions that men face.*

What May Pellet Therapy Help Relieve?
Pellets are made of custom-compounded hormones and binders. The hormones are compounded in the U.S. by outsourcing facilities that are held to strict standards. Each pellets manufactured is tested for potency, sterility, and endotoxins to ensure patients are being provided with high-quality pellet therapy for men to help their hormone optimization.
Many conditions may be improved in men through pellet therapy, including andropause, low mood, anxiousness, low sex drive, decreased bone density, and heart health.* Pellet therapy benefits for men may include the relief of symptoms caused by these conditions, as well as a return to hormonal balance.
