was ist östrogen — can a microbiome test help?

Estrogen is a primary female sex hormone crucial for regulating the menstrual cycle, fertility, and many other bodily functions. A microbiome test can provide clues about the so-called 'estrobolome' – gut bacteria that break down or recycle estrogen. However, the evidence for direct clinical recommendations from such tests is still weak. Most microbiome tests are not standardized and often deliver marketing-driven claims. A blood test for estradiol remains the gold standard. Always consult a physician for hormonal concerns.
