Medical 91ÌÒÉ«’s own Dr. Denise Pate was recently quoted in a Byrdie.com article about women and normal estrogen levels. She was quoted as saying:

According to Pate, estrogen is a female hormone that’s naturally produced by the body (the version in hormonal birth control is synthetic and thus won’t serve as a legitimate substitute for deficient estrogen levels—more on this later.) Produced by the ovaries, the hormone acts as a chemical messenger and is essential for “normal sexual development and regulation of the menstrual cycle.”
