Hormone Detoxification

Meaning

Hormone detoxification is the body’s critical, multi-step metabolic process, primarily carried out by the liver, to chemically inactivate and prepare steroid hormones and their metabolites for safe elimination from the body. This essential process prevents the excessive accumulation of active hormones or potentially harmful intermediate metabolites. A robust detoxification pathway is crucial for maintaining endocrine balance and mitigating the risks associated with hormone excess or the buildup of environmental endocrine disruptors. Clinical support for this pathway is often a focus in comprehensive hormonal health protocols.
