Labmaster Genistein TR-FIA

What is genistein —Background

Isoflavonoids are a group of diphenolic hormone-like compounds of dietary origin that are of great interest particularly because of their anti-carcinogenic potency, but also because of their association with other Western diseases like coronary heart disease.

These isoflavonoids are derived mainly from soy-protein products, while clover seeds and leaves are a rich source of Biochanin A and Formononetin.

Genistein precursors such as Genistin and Biochainin A are converted by the intestinal microflora to Genistein into gut.
