Isoflavones are secondary plant metabolites typically found in the diet. They are held responsible for a multitude of beneficial effects on health. The effects have been examined in more than 10,000 studies. Isoflavone-containing plants are primarily soy and red clover, but also alfalfa contains these micronutrients, which have been compared with vitamins by some scientists.
The Isoflavone Research Initiative is exclusively focusing on this singular substance group, and presents the most recent findings related to the benefits, but also the safety of application of isoflavones.
