Purity Standards

Meaning

Purity standards in the context of hormonal health and wellness refer to the rigorous, clinically defined criteria that a pharmaceutical or compounded substance must meet regarding its chemical composition and freedom from contaminants. These standards specify the minimum acceptable concentration of the active ingredient and the maximum allowable limits for impurities, degradation products, and foreign matter. Adherence to these strict standards, often set by regulatory bodies like the FDA or USP, is paramount for ensuring the safety, efficacy, and predictable dosing of therapeutic agents. Patients rely on these standards for confidence in their prescribed treatments.
