Estriol

Estriol is one of the three main estrogens.

Other names: Estriol
Layman's explanation: Estriol is a human female sex hormone. It is produced by the placenta. Only during pregnancy it present in the body at significant levels. Pharmaceutical companies suggest its use in “anti-aging” therapy and to alleviate menopausal effects. However, any hormone therapy interferes with natural processes in the body. Hormone therapies have been linked to certain cancers (e.g. breast cancer) and other health problems.
