Soybeans and soy foods contain a variety of bioactive components, including Isoflavones, saponins, protease inhibitors, and phytic acid.

Isoflavones belong to a class of compounds generally known as phytoestrogens. Dominant Isoflavones in soy are the genistein forms, with daidzein and glycitein forms composing the remainder. Within soy, isoflavones are almost entirely bound to sugars, as glycosides and/or their conjugates forms, that have estrogen-like structures.

Solbar has invested years supporting clinical research, standardization of processes and analytical methods in order to offer the widest range of natural soy Isoflavone extracts in the market today. Solbar’s Isoflavone product lines, Solgen and Nutragen, are aqueous alcohol extracts from whole soybeans. These products consist of high levels of Genistin & Genistein in a ratio of glycosides conjugates and aglycones that match the profile of Isoflavones that naturally occur in the soybean. These molecular forms have been clinically proven to posses the best bioavailability possible.
