noun phytoestrogens

A substance found in certain plants (such as genistein) which can produce effects like that of the hormone estrogen when ingested into the body. Furthermore, Kumar et al. investigated the synergistic effects of three phytoestrogens (genistein, quercetin and biochanin A) and found that these phytoestrogens in combination had a more potent inhibitory effect on androgen-responsive prostate cancer cell growth in vitro.
