Estradiol

Estradiol is a primary form of estrogen, a hormone mainly produced in the ovaries, and plays a key role in female reproductive health. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, supports the development of female secondary sexual characteristics like breasts and body fat distribution, and maintains the health of the reproductive tissues. Estradiol also influences bone density, cardiovascular health, and mood. Levels fluctuate naturally during the menstrual cycle and decline with menopause. It’s used medically to treat hormone imbalances, menopausal symptoms, and certain reproductive conditions.
