It is highly concentrated in soybeans, ranging from 0.1% to 0.5% in content. Soy Isoflavone mainly comprises 12 natural forms, categorized into three groups: Daidzin groups, Genistin groups, and Glycitin groups. These compounds are known for their estrogen-like effects, affecting hormone secretion, metabolic biological activity, protein synthesis, and growth factor activity. Soy Isoflavone is also considered a natural chemopreventive agent against cancer.
