Daidzein

Daidzein (7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one) is a naturally occurring compound found exclusively in soybeans and other legumes and structurally belongs to a class of compounds known as isoflavones. Mirificin and Daidzein are isoflavones and phytoestrogens.

See Mirificin and Daidzein

Estrogen

Estrogen (oestrogen; see spelling differences) is a category of sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.

See Mirificin and Estrogen

Isoflavone

Isoflavones are substituted derivatives of isoflavone, a type of naturally occurring isoflavonoids, many of which act as phytoestrogens in mammals. Mirificin and isoflavone are isoflavones and phytoestrogens.

See Mirificin and Isoflavone

Miroestrol

Miroestrol is a phytoestrogen, a plant-derived chemical that mimics the biological activity of the hormone estrogen. Mirificin and Miroestrol are phytoestrogens.

See Mirificin and Miroestrol

Phytoestrogen

A phytoestrogen is a plant-derived xenoestrogen (a type of estrogen produced by organisms other than humans) not generated within the endocrine system, but consumed by eating plants or manufactured foods. Mirificin and phytoestrogen are phytoestrogens.

Pueraria mirifica

Pueraria mirifica, also known as กวาวเครือ Kwao Krua (among other names), is a plant found in northern and north eastern Thailand and Myanmar.

Puerarin

Puerarin, one of several known isoflavones, is found in a number of plants and herbs, such as the root of the kudzu plant Puerarin is the 8-C-glucoside of daidzein.
