Estrogen is made from soybeans or other plants, unsure about progesterone and testosterone. It’s possible pills can sometimes be made with lactose or something but the hormones themselves are usually vegan
That’s cool. I thought that the estrogen in soy was phytoestrogen or something like that, a plant equivalent that doesn’t affect animals? Guessing there’s some processing step to transform it?
Probably! I don’t know much about the process
