Shop - Estradiol (E2)

Estradiol (E2) is a potent form of estrogen, a hormone primarily produced in the ovaries in females, although it is also present in smaller amounts in males. Estradiol plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle, reproductive function, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics in women, such as breast development and the maintenance of the uterine lining. In men, it is involved in modulating libido, erectile function, and spermatogenesis. Estradiol levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and can be measured through blood tests to assess ovarian function, diagnose hormonal imbalances, monitor hormone replacement therapy, and evaluate certain health conditions such as estrogen-related cancers. Abnormal levels of estradiol can indicate various health issues, including menopause, fertility problems, and endocrine disorders.
