Estriol Was Coined “The Forgotten Estrogen” By Dr. Jonathan Wright

Research shows it has dramatic healing powers.

It’s important that if you test estrogen in your clients, you do it in a manner that tests for all 3 estrogens: E1 Estrone, E2 Estradiol, and E3 Estriol plus the important metabolites.

There are 2 ratios to look at when reading blood tests.

Estrogen Quotient: E3/ E1 + E2 – This number needs to be above 1

2/16 Ratio – This is the ratio between the 2 and 16 metabolites. Larger 2:16 ratio could present a higher risk of breast and other hormone sensitive cancers, while in smaller 2:16 ratio, there’s a risk for osteoporosis.
