FAQ About Estradiol

What is Estradiol?

Plus Sign Icon

Estradiol is a hormone that is identical to the estrogen produced by our bodies that is plant-derived and FDA-approved.

How does it work?

Plus Sign Icon

During menopause or perimenopause our hormone levels begin to fluctuate and decline, often causing a host of symptoms. Estradiol replenishes your body’s decreasing estrogen levels restoring your hormonal balance.

How effective is it?

Plus Sign Icon

Estradiol is the most effective treatment available. Replenishing the exact form of estrogen that your ovaries are no longer producing, estradiol is scientifically proven to eliminate hot flashes completely in up to 80% of women and to reduce the frequency and severity in the remainder. To learn more, view some of our proven results below.

How do I take it?

Plus Sign Icon

Estradiol can be delivered in the form of a patch, pill, or cream. The patch is most women’s preferred method because of how safe it is and how easy it is to use. It is applied directly to your skin so there is no increased risk for blood clots and is best for women with an elevated BMI, who smoke, who have hypertension or just want the convenience!

Are there side effects?

Plus Sign Icon

In the first few weeks, as your body adjusts to your treatment, it’s normal to experience some side effects like breast soreness, headaches, bloating, spotting, or mood and sleep changes. These are temporary and almost always recede as your body adjusts to the hormones.
