Research Context
Research context compiled from published sources
How does Soy Isoflavones work?
Isoflavones (particularly genistein and daidzein) bind preferentially to oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) with much lower affinity than oestradiol. This selective binding may produce mild oestrogenic effects in bone, blood vessels, and the brain while having less stimulatory effect on breast and uterine tissue. Equol-producers (women whose gut bacteria convert daidzein to equol) may experience greater benefit.
