What does it do?

Estradiol monohydrate is the hydrated form of the primary female sex hormone estradiol. It belongs to the category of gonadal hormones and is primarily used to balance female hormone levels and alleviate menopausal symptoms. It is utilized as an active ingredient in hormone replacement therapy.

Estradiol monohydrate binds to estrogen receptors in the body to supplement hormone action. This helps to compensate for decreased estrogen levels after menopause and alleviates menopausal symptoms such as flushing and increased sweating.
