Estrogen 1 oz (30 ml)

Deseret Biologicals’ Estrogen supplement provides an additional source of estrogen that women often require in their postmenopausal years.

Estrogen is a group of steroid compounds that serves as the primary female sex hormone. It’s primarily produced by follicles in the ovaries, corpus luteum and placenta. There are several forms of estrogen: the type of estrogen secreted by the ovary is called 17β-estradiol, which is converted into estrone in the blood cells. Meanwhile, estriol is the primary form of estrogen formed by the placenta during pregnancy.

This trio of compounds—17β-estradiol, estrone, and estriol—are responsible for the majority of the estrogen-related activity within the female body. All of these compounds are produced from androgens through enzyme action; estradiol is produced from testosterone, and estrone comes from androstenedione. Estrone is significantly weaker than estradiol, and estrone levels are higher in post-menopausal women. This is why many women need estrogen supplementation in the years following menopause. This supplement is an effective and powerful way to promote hormone balance.

Estrogen is recognized as one of the most important of all female hormones, due to its diverse impact on your health. Estrogen is produced by the ovaries, which are in charge of the development of female sex characteristics. As women mature, the levels of estrogen naturally fluctuate to guide the regulation and development of secondary sex characteristics such as breasts, control the monthly cycle of menstruation, and prepare the body for future fertilization and reproduction. Estrogens are largely responsible for stimulating production of the uterine lining, allowing it to thicken during the first half of the menstrual cycle in preparation for ovulation and possible pregnancy.

Once you stop ovulating, natural production of estrogen slows down dramatically. Unfortunately, this can have negative effects. Estrogens are also important for promoting overall health unrelated to reproduction; for example, they have been associated with healthy bones.
