    To be fair, it’s not human oestrogens collected from pregnant women or something, it’s synthetic made in a lab. There’s no difference in the estradiol (E2) molecule between different mammals, so the stuff we use now could be used for HRT for a horse. That’s why the horse piss tiddy juice worked in the first place!

        I think you may have misunderstood my comment. I was speaking to this part of yours:

        …but these days we enjoy human estrogens instead…

        In that what we use now isn’t really “human” oestrogen, because it’s synthetic, and oestrodiol is pretty much universal among mammalian species.
