    Glossary Estrogenic

    substances mimic or enhance estrogen's effects in the body

    "Estrogenic" refers to substances or activities that mimic or enhance the effects of estrogen, a primary female sex hormone. These effects can influence various biological processes, including the regulation of the menstrual cycle, reproductive system, and secondary sexual characteristics. In the context of hair and alopecia, estrogenic compounds can impact hair growth and loss patterns, often promoting hair growth and reducing hair thinning.
