Estrogen is one of the most essential female hormones.

At Flower Organic , we believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to our bodies. That's why we did our research around one of the most important hormones for women – estrogen.

This hormone affects everything from our menstrual cycle to our mood, energy and skin health. We've put together the essential information every woman needs to know about estrogen, how it works, how estrogen dominance can occur and how we can support its proper function.

What are estrogens and why are they important?

Estrogens are the main female hormones that regulate the development and function of our reproductive system. They play a role in:

• In the development of female characteristics, such as breasts and fat distribution.
• During the menstrual cycle, helping to mature the eggs and prepare the uterus.
• In the lubrication of the vagina, maintaining tissue health.
• In psychology, as they affect serotonin, the feel-good hormone.

What is "estrogen dominance" and how does it affect us?

Ways to support estrogen in the body.

Liver support
The liver is responsible for eliminating estrogen. When it is burdened with toxins, it can slow down this process. We can support it with:
- Foods such as broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, which help with detoxification.
- Herbal teas such as milk thistle and dandelion.
- Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol and processed foods.

Bowel care

The intestine plays a major role in the elimination of estrogen. It helps to:
- We eat fiber from fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
- We strengthen the microbiome with probiotics (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut) and prebiotics (bananas, garlic, onion).

Reduction of exogenous estrogens

Environmental toxins can contain xenoestrogens – substances that mimic estrogen and disrupt hormone balance. Here's why:

- We choose glass or stainless steel bottles instead of plastic ones with BPA.
- We avoid plastic containers and prefer glass storage containers.
- We prefer organic products.

Estrogen balance is important for women's health, and small changes in our daily lives can make a big difference.
