When estradiol levels are low, the following foods can be considered for rapid supplementation: 1. Soybeans and soy products: These foods are rich in phytoestrogens, especially isoflavones, which have properties similar to estrogen and can effectively increase estradiol levels in the body. Examples include soybeans, black beans, soy milk, and tofu. 2. Foods rich in vitamin D: Vitamin D plays a role in regulating estrogen secretion. Therefore, appropriate supplementation of vitamin D helps maintain balanced estrogen production. Foods rich in vitamin D include cod liver oil, fish (such as salmon and mackerel), egg yolks, and certain mushrooms. 3. Royal jelly: Royal jelly is rich in female hormones and is a non-toxic, side-effect-free health product that has significant effects in supplementing estrogen and enhancing overall health. If estradiol levels remain consistently low, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and undergo drug therapy under a doctor's guidance.
