isoflavone
Plant estrogen mimic
Isoflavones are plant compounds found mainly in soybeans and other legumes.
They have a chemical structure similar to estrogen, which allows them to bind weakly to estrogen receptors in the body.
This has made them subjects of research into menopause symptoms, bone health, and hormone-related conditions.
Soy milk is rich in isoflavones.
