Isoflavones are substituted derivatives of isoflavone, a type of naturally occurring isoflavonoids,[1][2] many of which act as phytoestrogens in mammals.[3] Isoflavones occur in many plant species, but are especially high in soybeans.[1]
Although isoflavones and closely-related phytoestrogens are sold as dietary supplements, there is little scientific evidence for either the safety of long-term supplementation or of health benefits from these compounds.[1] Some studies indicate that isoflavone supplementation may help lower the risk of hormone-related cancers.[1][4]
