Understanding the Different Types of Estrogen
Personalized Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for Women in Florida
At Florida Coast Wellness, we understand that every woman’s hormones are unique. As estrogen levels change with age, many women begin to experience fatigue, mood changes, weight fluctuations, or a loss of that familiar spark. Our goal is to help you restore balance safely and naturally through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) — customized for your body’s needs.
We proudly serve women throughout Spring Hill, Brooksville, Homosassa, and surrounding areas of Hernando, Pasco, and Citrus Counties — with both in-office and convenient telehealth appointments available statewide.
What Is Estrogen?
Estrogen is a key hormone that supports energy, bone strength, mood, skin health, and sexual wellness. Women actually have three main types of estrogen — and each one plays a unique role in how you feel.
Estradiol (E2) – The Most Active Estrogen
Estradiol is the strongest and most important form of estrogen during a woman’s reproductive years. It helps maintain:
- Energy, focus, and libido
- Bone and heart health
- Skin elasticity and collagen production
In bioidentical hormone therapy, estradiol (E2) is often used in small, balanced doses to bring back that feeling of vitality and confidence.
Estriol (E3) – The Gentle, Protective Estrogen
Estriol is a weaker, more soothing form of estrogen that becomes more prominent after menopause. It provides gentle support for:
- Vaginal moisture and elasticity
- Bladder and urinary health
- Skin tone and hydration
Because it’s milder, estriol is often combined with estradiol to create Bi-Est, a popular compounded blend that promotes hormone balance without overstimulating breast or uterine tissue.
Estrone (E1) – The Postmenopausal Estrogen
Estrone becomes the dominant estrogen after menopause and is produced mainly in body fat. While it still supports some estrogenic activity, it’s not commonly used in modern HRT because higher levels may overstimulate certain tissues.
What Is Bi-Est?
Bi-Est is a customized blend of:
- 80% Estriol (E3)
- 20% Estradiol (E2)
This combination provides a balanced approach to hormone replacement, offering the restorative benefits of estradiol with the gentleness of estriol. Bi-Est is typically prescribed as a topical cream that’s absorbed through the skin, allowing for steady hormone delivery and easy dose adjustments.
