Daidzein and other isoflavone compounds, such as genistein, are present in a number of plants and herbs like kwao krua (Pueraria mirifica) and kudzu. It can also be found in Maackia amurensis cell cultures. [4] Daidzein can be found in food such as soybeans and soy products like tofu and textured vegetable protein. Soy isoflavones are a group ...
Isoflavone differs from flavone (2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyr-4-one) in location of the phenyl group. Isoflavones are produced via a branch of the general phenylpropanoid pathway that produces flavonoid compounds in higher plants. Soybeans are the most common source of isoflavones in human food; the major isoflavones in soybean are genistein and ...
Equol (4',7-isoflavandiol) is an isoflavandiol [1] estrogen metabolized from daidzein, a type of isoflavone found in soybeans and other plant sources, by bacterial flora in the intestines. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] While endogenous estrogenic hormones such as estradiol are steroids , equol is a nonsteroidal estrogen .
It is unclear if phytoestrogens have any effect on male physiology, with conflicting results about the potential effects of isoflavones originating from soy. [1] Some studies showed that isoflavone supplementation had a positive effect on sperm concentration, count, or motility , and increased ejaculate volume.

Canned soy milk. Soy allergy is a type of food allergy. [1] It is a hypersensitivity to ingesting compounds in soy (Glycine max), causing an overreaction of the immune system, typically with physical symptoms, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory distress, or a skin reaction.
Isoflavones are commonly found in legumes such as soy and red clover. The two soy isoflavones implicated in relieving menopausal symptoms are genistein and daidzein, and are also known as phytoestrogens. The half life of these molecules is about eight hours, which might explain why some studies have not consistently shown effectiveness of soy ...
