Abstract
The invention provides for a refinement of phytochemicals in order to tailor the refined end product to particular human dietary needs. More particularly, a composition is prepared by extracting phytochemicals from plant matter. This composition is enriched preferably in two or more isoflavones, lignans, saponins, catechins and phenolic acids. Soy is the preferred source of these chemicals; however, other plants may also be used, such as red clover, kudzu, flax, and cocoa. The composition is a dietary supplement for treatment of various cancers, pre-and-post-menstrual syndromes, and various other disorders.
