What is Formononetin?

Formononetin structurally belongs to the group of isoflavones.
Formononetin is found in a number of plants and herbs like the red clover. Along with other phytoestrogens, it predominantly occurs in leguminous plants and Fabaceae, particularly in beans, such as green beans, lima beans, soy and many others, as the free aglycone or in form of its glucoside ononin.
Formononetin has been reported to have beneficial effects for Alzheimer's disease.
