    GlossaryHormonal Balance

    optimal hormone levels for proper body function and health

    Hormonal balance refers to the optimal state where the body's hormones are produced and regulated in the right amounts, ensuring that various physiological processes function smoothly. This balance is crucial for maintaining overall health, including metabolism, mood, reproductive health, and hair growth. Imbalances can lead to conditions such as alopecia, where hair loss occurs due to disrupted hormone levels.
