The Endocrine Society is an international professional body of physicians and scientists working on hormonal disease. Founded in 1916 in the United States, it now has members in over 120 countries — making it the oldest and largest organisation in clinical endocrinology.

What it produces

Two flagship outputs anchor the Society's work: clinical practice guidelines, which set the standard of care for conditions ranging from diabetes to thyroid disease, and a portfolio of peer-reviewed journals — including *Endocrinology*, *The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism*, and *Endocrine Reviews* — that publish a large share of the field's primary research.

Why bavida cites it

When wellbeing coverage touches on metabolism, hormones, or vitamin D status, the Endocrine Society's guidelines and journals are a primary source. Statements from the Society on supplementation, hormone therapy, or screening thresholds carry weight in clinical practice and frame what mainstream medicine considers settled versus contested.
