Estrofem (estradiol/oestradiol)

Hi Trish

just a quick answer -- it is both! It's 17-beta-estradiol, same as in the Vivelle dot over here. Bio-identical because yes, it is the same as what our ovaries produce. Synthetic, because it is made in a lab from plant estrogens. Confusing, I know... anyway, it's the "good stuff".
