Secreting Gland:
Primarily the ovaries (developing ovarian follicles), with smaller amounts produced by the adrenal glands, adipose tissue, and, during pregnancy, the placenta.

Overview

Beta-Estr-ad-iol (17β-estradiol) is the most biologically active form of oestrogen and is the principal female sex hormone during the reproductive years. It plays a fundamental role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle, ovulation, fertility, bone metabolism, cardiovascular health, skin integrity, cognitive function, and emotional wellbeing.

Within GUNA's Low Dose Medicine philosophy, Guna Beta-Estr-ad-iol is traditionally used to support the physiological regulation of oestrogen pathways and the body's natural endocrine balance. Rather than replacing endogenous oestrogen, it is intended to support normal hormonal regulation through bioregulatory medicine.

• Regulating the menstrual cycle.

• Maintaining bone density and skeletal health.
• Supporting cardiovascular health.
• Promoting healthy skin elasticity and collagen production.
• Supporting cognitive function and memory.
• Contributing to emotional wellbeing and mood regulation.
• Maintaining healthy vaginal and urinary tract tissues.
