This seems like a bit more of a realistic plan for designing foods/drinks that help boost estrogen levels. Not a substitute for HRT by any means, but rather something that could supplement/enhance it that is also relatively safe to consume regularly.
it’s not unregulated. it’s still prescription, it’s just not controlled. like an antibiotic or something. i don’t think you’re allowed to put prescription medication in products like that.
So factory farms can pump cows full of hormones and sell the meat to consumers, but I can't spike my energy drinks, gummi bears, oreos, etc. with estrogen?? That just doesn't seem fair to me.
Had to look it up but there is an oral version used to treat breast cancer, there's some differences but science has gotten close enough without even trying so it's probably doable.
