Okay, so the importance in understanding that there's three different variants, if you will, of estrogen is that they are active at three different times, meaning some are more prevalent postmenopausal, which would be E1.

It's a very weak estrogen.

Some are more potent during your menstrual cycle when you're still a menstruating female.

That would be E2.

In fact, E2 is 10 times more potent

more potent, 10 times more potent than E1, and 100 times more potent than E3.

These are still important, but estradiol, the most potent estrogenic hormone, is 100 times more potent than estriol, and 10 times more potent than estreon.

The reason why that's important is like this is the master hormone.

And this is very high in premenopausal women, and then it tanks in menopause.

Okay, so when this hormone tanks, let me tell you what this hormone is responsible for.

This estrogen hormone is responsible for mood.

It's responsible for skin elasticity.

It is very linked to your emotional state.

It's linked to your libido.

It's also linked to your menstrual cycle.

So why does your menstrual cycle stop when estradiol tanks?

because this is the main potent hormone for your menstrual cycle.

Why does your mood get thrown off?

Why do you have emotional outburst?

You're happy one second, you wanna kill somebody the next.
