TheComprehensive Plus Profileexpands on theComprehensive Hormone Profileand includes estrone (E1) and estriol (E3) plus the Estrogen Quotient. Dr. Henry Lemon developed the Estrogen Quotient (EQ) which is a simple ratio of the cancer protective E3 to the proliferative estrogens E1 and E2. According to Dr. Lemon, the EQ provides an assessment of breast cancer risk, with a lower number (<1.0) indicating increased risk, and a higher number (>1.0) signifying a lower risk. Dr. Lemons work stated that for maximum protection, an optimal EQ is >1.5. Because the research on the Estrogen Quotient and the protective properties of estriol has not been completed with men,this profile is a consideration for women only.
