How does it work?

Estriol works by replenishing the lack of estrogen in a womans body during menopause. When the level of natural hormones decreases, women begin to experience a variety of symptoms, such as vaginal dryness, pain and discomfort. The introduction of estradiol helps to normalize the condition of tissues, improving their elasticity and hydration.

Estradiol, as the main active ingredient, actively interacts with receptors in tissues, helping to regulate metabolism and maintain bone structure. This is especially important for maintaining the health of the musculoskeletal system and preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
In addition, the addition of estradiol to the internal environment of the body helps to improve mood, reduce anxiety and improve the overall quality of life. This makes it an indispensable assistant for women during this difficult period of body restructuring.
