It is only necessary to take estrogen if you have an embalance and need to increase the amount in addition to what your body produces, or if you have had your ovaries removed.

The basic difference is that Insulin is a peptide hormone and Estrogen is a steroid hormone.

On the other hand some of the functions of insulin just involve changing the activity level of already existing enzymes and this is a quicker process.
