Excellent work on this guide!
It has information that I wasn't even aware of and will definitely have to be added to my routine when I have a job! Do you have any dosage recommendations? I may have missed them, sorry if I did! They are all definitely topics worth researching, thanks!

Estrogen receptors
Estrogen receptors are a group of proteins found inside cells. They are receptors that are activated by the hormone estrogen (17β-estradiol).[1] Two classes of estrogen receptor exist: ER, which is a member of the nuclear hormone family of intracellular receptors, and GPR30, which is a member of the rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors. This article refers to the former (ER).
Once activated by estrogen, the ER is able to translocate into the nucleus and bind to DNA to regulate the activity of different genes (i.e. it is a DNA-binding transcription factor). However, it also has additional functions independent of DNA binding.[2]

Distribution
Both ERs are widely expressed in different tissue types, however there are some notable differences in their expression patterns:[7]
The ERα is found in endometrium, breast cancer cells, ovarian stromal cells, and the hypothalamus.[8] In males, ERα protein is found in the epithelium of the efferent ducts.[9]
The expression of the ERβ protein has been documented in ovarian granulosa cells, kidney, brain, bone, heart,[10] lungs, intestinal mucosa, prostate, and endothelial cells.
The ERs are regarded to be cytoplasmic receptors in their unliganded state, but visualization research has shown that a fraction of the ERs resides in the nucleus.[11] The "ERα" primary transcript gives rise to several alternatively spliced variants of unknown function.[12]
TMI, but I'm missing part of my penis and all of the precious estrogen receptors that were part of that. Will having less estrogen receptors mean less results and/or slower results?
Is there a way to create new estrogen receptors to make up for the ones that are gone? Are there any benefits from having less, like less of a risk of getting estrogen-induced cancer? Will the others just absorb more to make up for the ones that are gone? If that happens, won't the others die faster because they have to work harder? Sorry about all of the questions, I'm just new to this and it's as if the loss that I am trying to compensate for is only further-inhibiting my plans for compensating for it, like it's counter-productive, like someone destroyed something that was passed down in your family for one-hundred generations, and if that isn't bad enough as it is, their ghost is living on and haunting you and preventing you from doing something to make up for damage that you didn't even ask to happen. OK, it's a rant at this point. T_T But happy face, there isn't anything to be concerned about.
Please though, answers to those questions would be appreciated. Thank you.
