Estrogens are a class of hormones produced in the ovaries, or made from other hormones in fat cells. There are three estrogens: estradiol, estratiol and estrone. These natural hormones work more efficiently compared to synthetic estrogens or, even worse, animal estrogens. The most common (though cruelly-produced) animal product is Conjugated Equine Estrogens (Premarin).
The proper dose is titrated against the pituitary hormones of LH and FSH. These are prescription drugs, but soy products can act as a surrogate for estrogen. Using estrogen alone in women, with their uterus still present, could, in a few percent, cause cancer of that organ.
