Endocrine System Lipid Support

Meaning

Endocrine system lipid support describes the necessary role of specific dietary and endogenous lipids in maintaining the structural integrity and optimal function of the glands, cells, and signaling pathways that constitute the endocrine system. Lipids are essential for synthesizing steroid hormones, forming the cell membranes where hormone receptors reside, and generating lipid messengers that modulate hormone action. Adequate lipid support is a prerequisite for a balanced hormonal profile and metabolic health.
