Endocrine Substrate Support

Meaning

Endocrine Substrate Support is the clinical practice of providing targeted nutritional or pharmaceutical precursors, known as substrates, that are essential for the optimal synthesis, transport, and function of key hormones involved in physiological repair and metabolic regulation. This strategy recognizes that the endocrine system’s ability to respond to stress and drive adaptation is fundamentally dependent on the availability of specific molecular building blocks. It is a foundational element in optimizing hormonal health and wellness, particularly during periods of high training stress or compromised nutritional status.
