The word isoflavones may suggest it is a flavanoid, but in actuality, isoflavones are phytochemicals found in soy and legumes, which block estrogen activity in cells, indirectly reducing risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
Some isoflavones are phytoestrogens, which are non-steroidal, weak versions of estrogens.dietary sources of isoflavones include chick pea, alfalfa and peanut.
