Also measured.

Serum estradiol improved, and luteinising hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone decreased (bi-directional hormonal support), within the healthy reference range for menopausal women. Salivary cortisol decreased significantly by day 42.

No clinically meaningful safety concerns: safe for use.
