What are soy isoflavones?
Isoflavones are plant compounds concentrated in soybeans (Glycine max) and, to a lesser degree, in other legumes. They belong to a group called phytoestrogens because their shape resembles that of estrogen. Genistein and daidzein are the two most familiar examples. Each capsule of this extract supplies 13.8 mg of total isoflavones, of which 2.2 mg are genistein and genistin compounds, both expressed as aglycone isoflavone equivalents.
