Natural Soybean Extract 98% Daidzein Powder
Daidzein structurally belongs to the group of isoflavones.
Soy isoflavones are a group of compounds found in and isolated from the soybean.
Of note, total isoflavones in Soy Beans are—in general—37 percent daidzein,
57 percent genistein and 6 percent glycitein, according to USDA data. Soy germ contains 41.7 percent daidzein.
Besides functioning as antioxidants, isoflavones have been shown to interact with animal and human estrogen receptors,
and are therefore referred to as phytoestrogens. Soy isoflavones also produce non-hormonal effects.
Daidzein can be converted to its end metabolite S-equol in some humans based on the presence of certain intestinal bacteria.
Based on several decades of research, S-equol has potential for significant health benefits.
Daidzein is legally classified as a dietary supplement in the United States, typically available in soy germ or soy extract.
