Can Estriol Prevent Wrinkles?

A decline in estriol (one of the weakest of the three estrogens found in the body) along with other hormones usually means a decline in:

• moisturizer
• collagen production
• elastin production
  

Regardless of our diet and lifestyle habits......

When menopause hits - leaving us with wrinkled, thin, dry itchy skin - hormone replacement therapy is usually the most successful option. 

Studies show that a drop in hormone production causes collagen and elastin production to fall – which contributes to wrinkls and sags.

In addition to hormone reduction, there is also a decline in blood circulation, thus depriving you of much needed nutrients.

This could explain one reason why women who perform regular facial exercises and massages tend to have a healthier looking complexion.

According to the Journal of International Menopausal Society, estriol decline has a profound effect on the dermis. They found that postmenopausal women who received estrogen treatment showed an increase in collagen, dermal thickness, and elasticity

Low Estrogen? There May Be Hope...........

While a decrease in certain hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, Pregnenolone) can have agingn effects, there are a host of other uncomfortable side effects associated with this natural aging process….......

Side effects such as hot flashes, weight gain, depression, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and more.

This is why finding a solution is even more important. These days, instead of going the synthetic route like taking Premarin, many women opt for more natural alternatives.

Consider asking your doctor about bioidential hormones - which are molecularly similar to the hormones your body naturally produces.

Bioidentical estrogens (which contain 17 beta-estradiol, estrone, and estriol) are generally derived from plant extracts such as soy or yams and are perceived by the body to be similar to hormones once produced by the ovaries.

A simple female hormone blood panel test can determine what you're levels are now and how much is needed to bring you back to youthful levels.

Please Note: Bioidentical hormones are available by prescription only through anti-aging doctors.
