Beschreibung

Equol is a metabolite of the phytoestrogen, daidzein. It is produced by bacteria in the gut and has been shown to have health effects on the liver and ovaries in animals. Equol has been found to be more potent than daidzein in some pre-clinical studies. The structural analysis of equol shows that it is a stereoselective monocarboxylic acid with an hydroxyl group at C2 and a methyl group at C4. The bacterial strain used in this study was Enterobacter cloacae, which produces equol as its major metabolite. This bacterium was grown on lysine as its carbon source and produced large amounts of equol when incubated for 24 hours at 37°C.
