Estrogen Balance

Meaning

Estrogen balance refers to the maintenance of optimal levels and ratios of the various estrogen metabolites, such as estrone, estradiol, and estriol, relative to other sex hormones like progesterone and testosterone. This delicate equilibrium is essential for maintaining reproductive, cardiovascular, skeletal, and cognitive health across the lifespan. Imbalance, characterized by deficiency or excess, can lead to a spectrum of adverse clinical symptoms and long-term health risks.
