I have been using the BioTE pellets but am very unhappy with the weight gain! I am at the point where I am due for more pellets but am exploring other options. I want to maintain my youthfulness so I think I would like to keep replacing the diminished hormones , I like the idea of the natural type BioTE , maybe a lesser dose would be conducive to the desired outcome? I eat very healthy , work out 5 plus times a week, have never been over 110 pounds until I used the bioTe .
