World J Hepatol. 2012 Dec 27;4(12):399-401. doi: 10.4254/wjh.v4.i12.399.

Abstract

Estrium Whey is an alternative nutritional support therapy for women. It's enhanced with specific nutrients including phytoestrogens, folate, antioxidants and fiber to support healthy estrogen detoxification and hormone balance. We describe the first case of hepatotoxicity due to Estrium Whey in a 51-year old female with metastatic breast cancer with clinical, laboratory and histopathological changes.

Keywords: Estrium Whey; Hepatotoxicity; Metastatic disease.
