Supraphysiologic Hormonal Environment

Meaning

A Supraphysiologic Hormonal Environment is a systemic state where the concentration of one or more circulating hormones significantly exceeds the upper limit of the range naturally produced by a healthy, non-pathological human body. This environment is typically created by administering exogenous hormones at doses substantially higher than replacement levels for a specific therapeutic or performance-enhancing effect. Chronic exposure to these elevated concentrations can disrupt the delicate homeostatic balance of the entire endocrine system.
