Biote's testosterone pellets are absorbed into the body through a process that involves the pellets dissolving and releasing hormones into the bloodstream. The pellets are inserted under the skin and are absorbed over several months. 

How the pellets work

• The pellets are made of bioidentical testosterone, which has the same molecular structure as the testosterone the body produces naturally. 

• The pellets are inserted in an in-office procedure. 

• The pellets dissolve and release hormones into the bloodstream. 

• The hormones help to address hormonal imbalances. 

How long it takes to feel relief

• Patients may start to feel relief from symptoms within 24 hours, but it can take up to three weeks. 

• Most patients report some relief within four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. 

How often the pellets need to be replaced 

• For men, the pellets need to be replaced every four to five months.
