Product Description
Our Genistein powder is a high-purity natural soybean isoflavone monomer, available in 98% and 99% grades. Genistein (CAS 446-72-0), also known as genic acid, is the core active flavonoid extracted from non-GMO soybeans. It features superior phytoestrogen activity, powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties, widely applied in endocrine regulation supplements, bone health products, anti-aging formulas and biomedical research. As a professional bulk Genistein supplier, we provide high-purity, stable-batch products for global industrial and research clients.
Genistein is recognized as the most bioactive monomer among soybean isoflavones, with higher absorption efficiency and stronger targeted efficacy than mixed isoflavone powder. This natural 4′,5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone compound features stable chemical structure and multi-target biological activities. It can effectively scavenge free radicals, balance human hormone levels, inhibit abnormal cell proliferation and protect cardiovascular and skeletal health, becoming a premium functional raw material in global health and pharmaceutical industries.
Manufactured by Shaanxi BAISFU Bio-Engineering Co., Ltd., our premium Genistein powder adopts two mature production processes to meet diverse customer demands. For natural organic product requirements, we use low-temperature physical extraction and high-precision membrane purification technology from natural soybeans, completely retaining original biological activity without solvent residues. For pharmaceutical and high-standard industrial applications, we provide semi-synthetic Genistein with higher batch consistency, uniform purity and cost advantages, fully compliant with international safety standards.
Every batch of Genistein powder undergoes strict multi-stage quality testing, including HPLC purity analysis and UV-Vis spectral verification, ensuring low impurity content and stable activity. All products comply with FDA GRAS, EU food additive regulations and global cosmetic safety standards, supporting safe application in dietary supplements, functional foods, skincare products and biomedical research.
We maintain sufficient inventory and complete qualification documents for bulk Genistein supply. Whether for daily health conditioning supplements, bone care formulas, anti-aging skincare or pharmaceutical intermediate development, our high-purity Genistein powder is a reliable and cost-effective raw material choice for global clients.
Functions & Benefits
Bidirectional Hormone Balance Regulation (Core Benefit)
Genistein is a classic natural phytoestrogen with mild bidirectional regulatory activity. It can effectively balance excessive or insufficient estrogen levels in the human body, relieve menopausal symptoms, improve endocrine disorders, and maintain female physiological health. Meanwhile, it regulates male hormone balance, protects prostate health and improves sub-health caused by hormonal imbalance, suitable for long-term daily conditioning.
High-Efficiency Antioxidant & Anti-Aging
Genistein delivers excellent free radical scavenging capacity, effectively eliminating intracellular reactive oxygen species and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. It protects cell DNA and membrane integrity, reduces oxidative stress damage, delays body and skin aging, improves skin dullness and fine lines, and maintains long-term physical vitality and youthful skin state.
Bone Health & Osteoporosis Prevention
Genistein effectively promotes bone metabolism, enhances bone mineral density, inhibits bone resorption and reduces age-related bone loss. It improves bone toughness and skeletal stability, effectively preventing and relieving osteoporosis, providing safe and natural nutritional support for middle-aged and elderly people and menopausal women.
Anti-Inflammatory & Cardiovascular Protection
Genistein suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and blocks chronic inflammatory pathways, relieving persistent low-grade inflammation in the body. It improves blood lipid levels, maintains vascular elasticity, inhibits vascular endothelial damage and lipid deposition, effectively protecting cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of vascular aging.
Anti-Proliferative & Anti-Tumor Activity
As a hotspot research compound, Genistein can inhibit abnormal cell proliferation, block tumor angiogenesis and induce cancer cell apoptosis. It shows broad-spectrum inhibitory effects on various tumor cells with low toxicity to normal cells, possessing high value for cancer prevention and auxiliary treatment research.
Immune Enhancement & Metabolic Regulation
Genistein regulates immune cell activity, enhances the body’s non-specific immune defense capability and improves physical resistance. It also optimizes human lipid and sugar metabolism, alleviates metabolic disorders, and improves overall sub-health state for long-term body conditioning.
Applications
Dietary Supplements
Genistein is a core raw material for endocrine regulation supplements, menopausal health products, bone density support formulas and anti-aging nutritional supplements. It is widely processed into capsules, tablets, softgels and compound nutritional powders.
Functional Foods & Beverages
Commonly added in functional health beverages, nutritional fortified foods and daily health snacks, providing natural hormone regulation, antioxidant and metabolic balancing functional attributes for daily healthy diet.
Cosmetics & Personal Care

Pharmaceutical & Research
Used as a research-grade raw material for anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and hormone regulation pharmacological studies, and serves as a high-purity intermediate for new drug development and biomedical innovation.
Health Care Products
Widely used in daily health conditioning formulas for middle-aged and elderly people, men and women’s hormonal health care, sub-health improvement and long-term anti-aging conditioning products.
FAQ
Q1: What is Genistein powder used for?
A: Genistein powder is a high-activity natural soybean isoflavone monomer. It is mainly used for hormone balance regulation, antioxidant anti-aging, bone health support and anti-tumor research, widely applied in health supplements, functional foods and skincare products.
Q2: Is Genistein safe for daily use?
A: Yes, natural soybean-derived Genistein features high safety, mild properties and no side effects. It has passed multiple international safety certifications and can be safely used for long-term daily health conditioning and formal formula production.
Q3: What is the advantage of pure Genistein over mixed soybean isoflavone?
A: Mixed soybean isoflavone contains multiple components with unstable efficacy, while our pure Genistein is a single high-purity monomer with higher activity, better absorption, stable batch quality and more targeted effects, ideal for high-end precise formula development.
Q4: How should Genistein be stored?
A: Genistein powder is sensitive to strong light and high temperature. It needs tight sealing and storage in a cool, dry and dark environment. The standard shelf life is 24 months under proper storage conditions.
Q5: Can I get free Genistein samples?
A: Yes, we provide free Genistein powder samples for customer quality testing, formula research and academic experiments. Bulk orders support customized purity and packaging to meet diverse production needs.
