Precursor Supplementation

Meaning

Precursor Supplementation is a nutritional or clinical strategy involving the exogenous administration of biochemical compounds that serve as direct building blocks for the body’s synthesis of critical hormones, neurotransmitters, or other essential biological molecules. This targeted intervention is designed to overcome rate-limiting steps in endogenous production pathways, thereby optimizing the final output of the desired substance. It is a precise method utilized to support specific physiological functions, such as mood, energy, or muscle synthesis, by providing necessary raw materials.
