摘要
Dietary supplements, especially those containing phytoestrogens, frequently are used to either promote health or prevent disease. An estimated 20 billion dollars was spent on dietary supplements in the year 2000. Approximately 40% to 55% of Americans use supplements on a regular basis and 24% of these supplements contain herbs. Phytoestrogens are defined as any compound that is structurally or functionally related to ovarian or placental estrogens and their active metabolites. These compounds are widely used for various disorders related to women's health.
