The purpose of hormone optimization is to determine whether hormone levels in the body are below their optimal level and, if so, to address this by devising a strategy to optimize hormone function. Biote’s bioidentical hormone replacement therapy method, also known as BHRT, helps avoid unwanted side effects connected with a hormone imbalance. If your body is not producing enough hormones, BHRT may be an option. This medication can either augment or replace under-produced hormones. (Biote, March 2022)
