Description

(±)-Equol CAS NO 94105-90-5 is a biologically active isoflavandiol metabolite derived from the natural isoflavone daidzein. This compound is of significant commercial and research interest due to its potent estrogenic and antioxidant properties, which are central to its functional benefits. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers and researchers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical industries for developing products targeting hormonal balance, bone health, and skin vitality.

Application

• Nutraceutical Formulations: Key ingredient in dietary supplements for menopausal support, prostate health, and antioxidant benefits.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in preclinical studies for hormone-related therapies.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating products for its estrogenic and collagen-promoting effects.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Added to fortified foods and drinks designed to promote wellness and hormonal health.
• Veterinary Applications: Used in animal health supplements, particularly for pets and livestock, to support joint and metabolic health.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical tool in studying estrogen receptor (ER) binding, signaling pathways, and metabolic processes.
