Demonstrated HRT health risks or side effects, as well as negative publicity relating to the same, could negatively impact the perception of patient benefit and generate resistance and opposition from practitioners, which could limit adoption of the Biote Method and have a material adverse impact on our business. To date, a substantial majority of our revenue has been derived from clinics and independent, third-party physicians and nurse practitioners who are certified under our training program (the Biote-certified practitioners ). Our future growth and profitability largely depends on our ability to increase practitioner awareness of the Biote Method as well as our Biote-branded dietary supplements, and on the willingness of clinics, practitioners and their patients to adopt them. Practitioners may not adopt the Biote Method unless they determine, based on experience, clinical data, medical society recommendations and other analyses, that the Biote Method and the Biote-branded dietary supplements are appropriate for their patients. Healthcare practitioners must believe that the Biote Method and Biote-branded dietary supplements offer benefits over alternatives. Even if we are able to raise awareness, practitioners may be slow in changing their medical treatment practices and may be hesitant to use the Biote Method.
