Differing effects of oral conjugated equine estrogen and transdermal estradiol on vitamin D metabolism in postmenopausal women: a 4-year longitudinal study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35969885/
Directly measured free 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, but not serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, are different within the first 12 months of estrogen replacement depending on the preparation. However, this difference...
Conclusion: Directly measured free 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, but not serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, are different within the first 12 months of estrogen replacement depending on the preparation. However, this difference is transient, in that there were no differences at 36 or 48 months.

Finally, the classification of isoflavonoid compounds as endocrine disruptors is unwarranted. In fact, isoflavonoids act as SERMs that bind to ER in the skin to enhance dermal health. Whereas the topical...
