Phytoestrogens: Nature's Back-up Plan
Phytoestrogens belong to a class of nutrients called phytonutrients or phytochemicals. These compounds are nature's back up arsenal against a myriad of conditions. The word 'phyto' is from Greek and means plant. Nutrients are substances the body requires to function properly.
