This #femtechfriday we’re getting hormonal 🔥
Today we are going to be focusing on the reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone. These are commonly thought of as female hormones but did you know that females also produce testosterone and males produce estrogen and progesterone, albeit in smaller amounts? Over 100 million women use hormonal contraceptives. The combined oral pill is made of a synthetic estrogen which generally stays the same and a synthetic progesterone which differs between pills. If you are on the pill why don’t you check out which progestin component you have? Although they are most commonly known for their roles in reproduction these hormones play very important roles in many non-reproductive systems 🤓
So yes we are all VERY hormonal 😜
