Hormonal Purity

Meaning

Hormonal Purity is a critical quality standard in endocrinology and pharmacology that quantifies the precise chemical composition of a hormone compound, ensuring the active ingredient is essentially free from structural contaminants, unwanted degradation products, and incorrect stereoisomers. Achieving and maintaining a high degree of purity is paramount for ensuring the administered hormone exhibits the intended biological activity and receptor specificity without causing unpredictable or adverse off-target effects. This standard is particularly relevant for bio-identical hormone preparations.
