Abstract

A composition is prepared by extracting phytochemicals from plant matter and is administered to provide treatment for mental conditions and nerve problems, especially neurological symptoms, immunological symptoms, migraine headaches, inflammations and dementia. This composition is enriched preferably with two or more fractions of plant matter, namely: isoflavones, lignans, saponins, sapogenins, catechins and phenolic acids. The isoflavones are taken from a group including malonyl, acetyl, glucoside and aglycone. Soy is the preferred source of these chemicals; however, other plants may also be used, such as wheat, psyllium, rice, oats, red clover, kudzu, alfalfa, flax, and cocoa. The composition is a dietary supplement for treatment of various syndromes and disorders presented in a concentrated, easily delivered and consumed dosage, such as a health bar.
