Abstract

A composition is prepared by extracting phytochemicals from plant matter. This composition is enriched preferably in 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.
