Glycitein

Glycitein is presumed to have some of the same anticancer effects as genistein and daidzein, two other soy isoflavones. Glycitein might also have some of the benefits observed in the use of soy isoflavones, with respect to atherogenesis and problems associated with menopause (such as hot flashes and osteoporosis).

Nursing mothers and women who are pregnant should avoid the use of Glycitein/Glycitin-containing supplements until there are long-term safety studies. Men with prostate cancer should discuss the advisability of the use of Glycitein/Glycitin-containing supplements with their doctors before making a decision to use them. Women with estrogen receptor-positive tumors should apply caution in the use of Glycitein/Glycitin-containing supplements and should use them only if recommended and monitored by a doctor.
