Is Estrogen Vegan?
AvoidNo. Animal product not typically used in food (more typically seen in medications, supplements, cosmetics and/or cleaning supplies).
Estrogen and the Vegan Diet
Estrogen is a group of steroid hormones that play a critical role in the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. Estradiol is one of the most potent forms of estrogen. While estrogen is not typically added to food, it can be found in medications, supplements, and various personal care products. It is important to note that, as a hormone, it is derived from animal sources and thus is not considered vegan.
