I had wondered if SeroVital had any estrogen in it. I have had estrogen-based breast cancer and am on Letrozole to keep any estrogen out of my body. I had a complete hysterectomy in 1979 and had been on Premarin until the cancer was discovered. I kept taking it because of severe migraines, nausea, and hot flashes. I had cancer surgery in 2019 where I had in situ carcinoma removed in one breast and a stage one carcinoma removed from the other. I am cancer free, other than the letrozole, I have had no other treatment. But I do have to be careful about estrogen.
