Biote Hormone Optimization FAQ
How long have Pellets been around?
Originally developed in 1939 for women who underwent radical hysterectomies. Widely used in Europe and Australia, they are the longest studied form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to date..
Why haven’t I heard of Pellets before now?
Bio-identical HRT was very popular until a large pharmaceutical company Wyeth/ Ayerst developed Premarin in 1942.
What is the pellet made of?
Pellets are estradiol or testosterone and stearic acid is used to bind the “pellet”.
How big are the pellets and can you feel them?
They are no bigger than a grain of rice. Occasionally pellets may be felt underneath the skin due to swelling, this will typically disappear within 24 hours or in some cases, although rare, up to a month. *Limited gluteal exercises after insertion for 72 hours in women and 7 days in men can reduce swelling.
Are pellets FDA approved?
The estrogen and testosterone in the pellet are FDA approved. The manufacturing of pellets 503B outsourcing facilities is under strict regulations by the FDA.
How often do patients need pellets?
3-5 months for women and 4-6 months for men
After insertion, what happens to the pellets? Does BioTE "remove" pellets?
Over time, the pellets are completely dissolved into the bloodstream and eventually disappear. Patients will know it is time for their pellets to be replaced when symptoms begin to return. Patients will be able to estimate their own biological schedule for re-pelleting after the first few cycles of hormones.
What difference pellets from other therapies?
Pellet delivery system allows your body to use the right amount of hormones as needed. Blood flows around the pellets and absorbs the hormones at exactly the right time.
Do patients need to stop taking any medications before getting bloodwork?
If they are currently on some hormone replacement such as creams, patches or oral HRT, do not apply or take their hormones the day of getting their blood drawn. Once blood is drawn, patients may resume taking or applying as directed. For injectable hormones, BioTE recommends draw blood the morning they are supposed to receive their next shot before they receive their hormones. Once pelleted, women will stay on their existing hormone therapy for 3 days and then discontinue on day 4. Men should discontinue their existing hormone therapies 7 days after pelleting. This is often the best method to transition patients off of existing hormone therapies.
What about birth control?
Stay on your birth control. Pellets do not serve as a method of contraception. Premenopausal women need to remain on BC to avoid pregnancy.
Some other offices use saliva testing. Does the Biote Method do saliva testing?
A key hormone, to the BioTE method, FSH, cannot be detected in saliva. Most insurance companies DO NOT pay for saliva testing.
How long will it take to get pellets into my bloodstream?
Symptom relief can occur anywhere from 72 hrs to up to three weeks for first-time patients. Patients should expect to feel some degree of symptom relief within a month of pelleting or even sooner. Dosage and treatment plans may be adjusted if the patient has no symptom relief.
Are there any side effect with pellets?
Some reported secondary responses are noticeable in the first two rounds during the initial balancing phase or re-optimization phase.
In Men
Mild fluid retention, acne or more hair growth as well could occur. Men may experience some testicular shrinkage, this is normal.
In Women
Fluid retention, especially in hot months, or some temporary swelling. This is temporary and most practitioners may call in a mild water retention pill if needed. Some women may experience some spotting if she still has her uterus, and was given Estrogen by her practitioner. Progesterone will be prescribed for those women to relieve this adverse effect. Progesterone should be taken in the evening with food as some women report it could make them drowsy. Acne can occur, and practitioners may prescribe Spironolactone for resolution. If your office has an esthetician, they can offer some acne topical treatments for the patient. Hair may appear to grow faster when hormones are optimized. Again, aesthetic treatments may be offered for those women. If secondary responses persist, dosage can be adjusted to help avoid the issues.
How long will it take for me to lose weight?
An exercise regime is essential in optimizing hormones, reducing fat mass and increase lean muscle mass.
Are pellets time released?
No. Pellets are released based on cardiac output. The more active you are, the more the hormone is released as needed.
Can breast cancer survivors receive pellets?
Yes. BC survivors may be treated with testosterone. They should not receive estradiol. Patients must be evaluated by a certified BioTE Practitioner to determine if hormone replacement therapy is appropriate. Studies show testosterone alone can address up to 90% of symptoms common in BC survivors such as fatigue, depression, bone loss, heart issues, libido loss, and many other health benefits.
Can prostate survivors receive pellets?
Yes. After the prostate cancer has been treated or removed and the PSA blood test is negligible the patient can be pelleted. Studies show testosterone does not cause prostate cancer and has been shown to be good for the prostate.
IV NAD+ Therapy
Resurrection Health is the #1 Provider of IV NAD+ as a powerful supplement!
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is used in multiple cellular processes, notably by the mitochondria in energy production (helps to form adenosine triphosphate or ATP). It is integral in ethanol (alcohol) metabolism (converts ethanol into acetaldehyde, and then consequently to acetate in the mitochondria).
We have the highest levels of NAD+ as infants and children. These levels naturally decrease as we age into adulthood. This is part of the reason that children have so much energy, as they have a higher metabolism and higher energy production at the cellular level from NAD+, leading to increased ATP and increased energy. This helps younger people with physical activity and cognitive function.
Our NAD + is administered over 2-4 hours depending on each client and dosage recommended. Buckle up, bring a book and come relax as we provide this premium infusion!
250 mg NAD+ $300- infused in 1/2 liter of IV fluid over 2-2.5 hours
500 mg NAD- $550-infused in 1 liter of IV fluid over 4-4.5 hours
5 Pack of NAD+ (250 mg/IV- $1250)
Which NAD+ Infusion is right for me?
We recommend starting with 250 mg for your first NAD+ infusion and scheduling another NAD+ 250 mg Infusion within 3-5 days. Our nursing team will guide you from there on best dosage and plan depending on your health intake and history.
