How it works

Similarity of isoflavone to estrogen

  1. Isoflavones have a similar structure to endogenous steroidal sex hormones.
  2. They can bind to estrogen receptors on human cells and, in women, show a preference for the beta form of the estrogen receptor.
  3. As phytoestrogens they exert an estrogenic effect (reducing menopausal symptoms) and an anti-estrogenic effect (supporting cardiovascular and bone health).
