Women all over the world at some point in their lives begin to desperately need estrogen.

Unable to endure the suffering of millions of women, the American company Wyeth back in the forties century through the hardest brainstorming has developed a revolutionary way to obtain large quantities estrogen.

The method was very ingenious. The Americans collected the urine of pregnant mares and excreted estrogens from it.

Obedient horses for 20 hours a day for five months in a row were trapped in a cramped stall, where a urine collection device was screwed to them.

Then the mares foal, and together with their offspring they were sent to sausage.

Estrogen was produced commercially. Millions of women were happy. Until in the zero years of our century, the results of scientific research appeared, which revealed frequent cases strokes, heart attacks, malignant neoplasms and venous thrombosis in those very happy women.

The boom is over. Estrogens began to be taken more seriously.

Europeans, being more advanced people, used less of this equine estrogen. Although this did not stop the Europeans from buying used horses for sausage. After all, here in the Old World we traditionally ate all kinds of giblets rolls and other delicacies.

In short, the boom has passed. Not a small company in itself, Wyeth was crushed by the even larger Pfizer, and they began to make less horse estrogen.

This equine estrogen is called conjugated.

The fact is that estrogen is poorly soluble in water. And so that the mare can excrete it into the urine, the equine organism makes this estrogen conjugated, that is, soluble in water.

This estrogen is also called equinic. It means "horse" in Latin.
