What Is The Benefit Of Estradiol/Estrogen? - Dr. Heward (VIDEO)

Dr. Heward:
Estradiol is a magic molecule. Back in the early days of studying gerontology, I pondered myself taking estradiol. Why would I do that? I'm a man; why would I take that? Because of all the hormones that I have studied in my life, it’s the one compound that has been associated in study after study with a reduction in all-cause mortality. That’s pretty amazing.

A reduction of all-cause mortality? I want that! The problem is, I didn’t want the breasts, so I haven’t taken it, but the reality is that in females, in healthy young females, the number of tissues in the body that have estrogen receptors and respond favorably to the presence of the estrogen, estradiol in the bloodstream is mind-boggling. Almost every tissue in a young, healthy female is supported by the presence of estrogen.

At the menopause when you take it away, you can watch these women shrivel up and get old. Estrogen is crucially important for health and vitality in young women, in old women too.
