Physiological Synergy

Meaning

Physiological synergy is the principle where the combined action of two or more distinct biological elements, such as hormones, nutrients, or integrated organ systems, results in a total effect that is demonstrably greater than the simple additive sum of their individual effects. This phenomenon is a hallmark of optimal systemic function, indicating that the components are working together to amplify a beneficial outcome and enhance biological resilience. In clinical therapy, synergy is often sought to maximize therapeutic benefit while minimizing the necessary dosage of individual compounds.
