Phytoestrogens
Plant molecules structurally similar to oestrogens (soy and red clover isoflavones, lignans, hops prenylflavonoids). Their affinity for oestrogen receptors is 100 to 1000 times lower than that of oestradiol. Modulating action: slightly agonist when oestrogens are low, slightly antagonist when high. Contraindicated without oncological advice in case of a history of hormone-dependent cancer.
Never use a dietary supplement without the advice of a healthcare professional. Overdoses as well as deficiencies are not without risk.
