Hi Jan:
I don't remember if the book plots estriol and estrone ( I don't think so), but it does go into explanations about them.
I seem to recall that the emphasis on estriol over estradiol had to do with lower side effects, better tolerance, the phenomenon of "estrogen dominance" and also worries about cancer (safer profile). Also, I think that estriol can convert into estradiol.
There's so much I don't remember about my research (which I did a lot of, about 3 years ago)!!!!!! Additionally, there may well be new findings, since then.
I'll have to review it all over again!
I'll get back to you.
Jas
