Time-to-Effect Analysis

Meaning

Time-to-Effect Analysis is a pharmacokinetic and clinical metric used to quantify the duration required for a therapeutic intervention, supplement, or lifestyle change to elicit a measurable, sustained physiological or symptomatic response. This analysis is crucial in hormonal health to manage patient expectations and evaluate the true efficacy of long-term protocols, as many endocrine adjustments require weeks or months to fully manifest. Understanding this temporal relationship helps distinguish between a lack of efficacy and the natural latency of a biological process.
