Specifications
Target Information
Norethisterone is a potent synthetic progestin primarily designed for human contraceptive and hormonal therapies. However, in the livestock and aquaculture industries, synthetic steroids are sometimes illegally or off-label administered as growth promoters to increase feed-to-meat conversion rates, or used to synchronize estrus in breeding animals. Because it is a highly active endocrine disruptor, its presence in animal-derived foods like meat, milk, and eggs is strictly monitored or banned by international food safety authorities. Residual consumption of this hormone through the food chain can cause severe endocrine and reproductive disruption, developmental issues, and potential carcinogenic risks in humans.
