Re: Birth Control Pills made with horse urine?

[Guest guest]

I think you're confusing Premarin, used in hormone replacement

therapy, with birth control.

Horses are kept pregnant & their urine is collected. The pregnancy

generates high levels of hormones. The estrogenic hormones are then

distilled out of the urine. Of the approximately 12 estrogens in

horse urine, only 2 exactly match a woman's.

Since the hormones are distilled out, there is no " urine " , per se, in

the HRT. The safety, efficacy & morality of it are a whole 'nother

discussion, however.

Info on Premarin:

http://www.premarin.org/

The pill contains synthetic hormones. They're chemically generated in

the lab, not thru horse urine.
