Did you know your body makes 3 different types of estrogen? Each one plays a different role - especially through perimenopause and menopause.
💗 Estrone (E1): A weaker form of estrogen that becomes more prominent after menopause. It’s often stored in fat tissue and may contribute to inflammation.
💪 Estradiol (E2): The powerhouse estrogen that builds strong bones, supports your heart, sharpens memory, protects your brain, and keeps your libido thriving. Most commonly used estrogen in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.
🌸 Estriol (E3): The gentle estrogen, perfect for balancing the others. It’s amazing for your skin, vaginal health, and preventing dryness. Often used in BHRT, sometimes paired with E2 for optimal balance.
