Genistein
Genistein is classified as a phytoestrogen which are plant-derived nonsteroidal compounds that possess estrogen-like biological activity. Genistein has been found to have both weak estrogenic and weak anti-estrogenic effects.Genistein has weak estrogenic activity as measured in in vivo and in vitro assays. In vivo,its estrogenic activity is one-third that of glycitein and four times greater than that of daidzein.

Plant original: Glycine mao(L).Merr.
Specifications: 98.0% Genistein Test by HPLC
Molecular Formula: C15H10O5
Molecular Mass: 270.24

Dosage Information
In consideration of levels of dietary genistein uptake and bioavailability we have defined in vitro concentrations of genistein >5 microM as non-physiological, and thus “high” doses.
Therapeutic Dosages
The optimum dosage of genistein is unknown. In Asia, population groups who eat soy foods daily containing 20 mg to 80 mg of genistein have lower rates of breast and prostate cancer than do groups in the West with less
genistein in their diets. However, we don’t know whether genistein (or even soy isoflavones generally) are responsible for this effect.
