Structural Formula:
Function: It is regarded as plant estrogen, indicated in prevention and treatment of menopause syndrome,prostate cancer,breast cancer,heart disease,cardiovascular disease and osteteoporosis. The isoflavone genestein in particular appears to have a weak estrogenic effect.However,at higher concentrations and in different tissues, it selectively can have an anti-estrogenic effect. So, it can weakly bind to tissues that contain estrogen receptors. By doing so, it may be able to stimulate that estrogen receptor in a weak fashion compared to regular physiologic estrogen or estrogen replacement.
