Isn’t estradiol made from yams? Like you can’t just eat plants for their hormones even if you physically could eat enough the hormones still need processed to be noticably effective on humans

It’s not extracted as-is from yams. Yams have diosgenin - which needs to be extracted, cleaned and then put through a few chemical processes to be useful.

Plants are viable sources of precursors not of the end result, and many of these precursors aren’t useful in biological processes.

Scientific studies have not shown Men to have substantial estrogen level changes from drinking soy.

  That’s why I mentioned it needs processed. Didn’t know the word precursors but yeah we’re talking the same thing

So is testosterone, in terms of its chemical precursor.
