Product Information

• Name: Dehydroequol
• Synonyms: 7,4?-Dihydroxyisoflav-3-ene3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-7-olHaginin E
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dehydroequol is a dietary supplement ingredient, which is a metabolite of the soy isoflavone daidzein. It is produced through the biotransformation by certain gut bacteria that convert daidzein into equol compounds, specifically the dehydrogenated form. This compound is noted for its estrogenic activity, acting primarily as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Dehydroequol binds to estrogen receptors with a preference for the beta subtype, exerting moderate estrogenic effects.
