Chemical structures of ginsenoside Rb1 as well as natural forms of human estrogens. Ginsenoside Rb1 possesses 4 trans-ring rigid steroid skeletons with a modified side-chain at C20, C24-C25 double bound, and 4 glucose moieties. Estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3) are the major naturally occurring forms of estrogens in females. Estetrol (E4) is produced only during pregnancy.
