Estradiol
17-Beta Estradiol provides the most potent estrogen available, and is most commonly taken by mouth. It may also be administered by way of a skin patch or injected into muscle, whereby the drug travels expeditiously through the bloodstream to the areas it affects or targets. Oral estradiol provides a very effective means of feminization.
