Since estradiol is unregulated (in the US anyways), does this mean that you could theoretically make estradiol gummies or put it in energy drinks? (hexbear.net)

So after doing a bit of searching I found this article: https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/3-ways-increase-estrogen-naturally

This seems like a bit more of a realistic plan for designing foods/drinks that help boost estrogen levels. Not a substitute for HRT by any means, but rather something that could supplement/enhance it that is also relatively safe to consume regularly.

Yeah, oral e is an option, people just don’t like it.

I don't think you're picking up what I'm putting down. Science guys have figured out oral e, without being motivated by trans people to do so as far as I'm aware it was for breast cancer, so, probably if the effort was put forth an workable oral version would be doable. Not saying it currently exists, saying it probably wouldn't be that great a pharmaceutical challenge

Yeah, maybe. I can be bad at understanding people.
