Animal studies are contradictory in their conclusions about the intake of soy isoflavones: Some studies showed that in an existing breast carcinoma (tumor of the mammary gland tissue), isoflavones may accelerate the growth of tumor cells. In studies on mice, the administration of isolated genistein in existing breast cancer led to increased spread of tumor … Glycitein: Safety Assessment
Effects of Glycitein Of all the active ingredients, glycitein is the one for which the least research is available. Weak estrogen activity – the highest activity of the soy isoflavones. Scientific studies Most studies have been conducted with all three substances combined. For this reason, the following effects are related to isoflavones in general. Anticarcinogenic … Glycitein: Functions
Interactions of isoflavones with other agents (micronutrients, foods, drugs): Drug tamoxifen Interactions of isoflavones, particularly genistein, with tamoxifen (a selective estrogen receptor modulator used as a drug for adjuvant antihormonal therapy of breast carcinoma/breast cancer when this is estrogen receptor positive) have been reported in the literature. When administered concomitantly, isoflavones may reverse the effect … Glycitein: Interactions
Intake recommendations of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) are not yet available for glycitein. Glycitein content – given in μg – per 100 g of food. Soy and soy products Soy milk 400 Soy germ 900
