About Formononetin:
Formonenetin is a phytochemical that is known as a flavonoid. It belongs to the subgroup of flavonoids, known as isoflavones. It is found in red clover and other plants. This compound is a weak phytoestrogen, meaning it can bind to the receptors that bind the female hormone estrogen. Having phytoestrogens in one’s diet is usually considered beneficial.

Function:
It has a distinct effect to reduce the blood lipid and antioxidation, it can be used as the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, breast and prostate cancers, and may relieve the symptoms of menopause. It can increase the weight of the uterus in mice and other animals in the experiment, but the effect is less than a similar isoflavone genistein.
