Nutrient Synergy Effects

Meaning

The clinical principle that the combined biological impact of two or more essential micronutrients, macronutrients, or bioactive compounds, when administered concurrently, is greater than the simple additive effect of each component given in isolation. Synergy highlights the complex interdependencies in metabolic pathways where one nutrient acts as a cofactor, carrier, or regulator for the absorption or function of another. This coordinated action is essential for maximizing therapeutic outcomes and systemic homeostasis.
