What is genistin?

Genistin is isoflavone. Isoflavones are derived from plants and are polyphenics , which means they have more than one phenol unit per molecule. Fenol is also known as carbolic acid. Many isoflavones act as phytoestrogens when ingesting mammals, which means that they carry a strong molecular similarity to estradiol, the primary sex hormone in women. Phytoestrogens are able to either support or reduce estrogen activity in the body.

The most common source of genistin is soya, but is also in FAVA beans and coffee. This compound acts as an antioxidant, which means that it can slow down or prevent damage caused by free radicals in the body. Genistin also has functions like anthelmintic . Anthelmintics is used to exclude parasites such as worms, from the body. Genistin is present in one of the traditional de-bike drugs used by Indian trunks Khasi, which uses the Felmiatia vestita plant. Contains high -level genistin that has been identified inE study of 1997 as a primary anthelmintic compound.

This compound also showed some promise to fight cancer. IT and other isoflavones can prevent new blood vessels, giving them an anti -angiogenic effect. It is believed that genistine can prevent unlimited cancer cell growth by limiting their ability to divide and survive. More studies have shown that this isoflavone has inhibitory properties on the carcinob of the large intestine, brain, breast and cervix. This compound was also used to treat after menopausal women who lack estrogen, through their phytoestrogenic properties, but the extent of its effect is not well documented.

There were several concerns about consuming isoflavones in large quantities from men. First, isoflavones such as genistine may act as phytoestrogens, imitating estrogen in the body and causing an increase in female female CharactEristik. Secondly, several studies have shown that at certain concentrations isoflavones can cause apoptosis or pre -programmed cell death of the testicles. This raised concerns about how these compounds to male fertility.

Genistin consumption in some parts of the world is much higher than others. In Japan, the average daily intake of this compound is between seven and 12 milligrams (mg). North Americans and Europeans generally consume a much smaller amount. Genistin and other isoflavones are not considered nutrients because they are not required for any basic physical function, nor does the lack of isoflavone cause symptoms.
