Hormone Metabolite Management

Meaning

Hormone Metabolite Management is a clinical strategy focused on influencing the metabolic breakdown pathways of endogenous and exogenous hormones to favor the production of beneficial, non-toxic, or less-active end products. This process involves utilizing specific nutritional cofactors, enzymatic modulators, or pharmaceutical agents to steer the conjugation and excretion routes, particularly within the liver and gut microbiome. The goal is to optimize the clearance of hormones, preventing the accumulation of potentially undesirable metabolites that could contribute to pathological states or endocrine disruption. This is a key aspect of advanced hormonal therapy.
