Bioactive Sex Hormone Management

Meaning

Bioactive Sex Hormone Management is a precise clinical approach focused on assessing and modulating the levels of sex hormones that are unbound to carrier proteins and thus biologically available to target tissues. This includes the free fractions of testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone, which exert the most immediate physiological effects. Effective management aims to maintain these unbound hormone levels within an optimal functional range to support reproductive, metabolic, and cognitive health. This is distinct from measuring total hormone levels, as it accounts for protein binding capacity and tissue availability.
