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
wait so the people calling me soyboy were right?!?!
yes 😔
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
Huh, TIL - thank you!

Many thing’s in life are, even more so when one counts humans as animals
How do i get my house pregnant? I gotta do my part for the housing shortage!

I’m sure if we can make eggs produce it, its probably cheaper to make plants produce more
