Equol
Equol is a metabolite of daidzein, a phytoestrogen common in the human diet and abundant in soy. Intestinal bacteria in humans can reduce daidzein to equol, and can be found in normal human urine. The clinical effectiveness of soy isoflavones may be a function of the ability to biotransform soy isoflavones to the more potent estrogenic metabolite, equol, which may enhance the actions of soy isoflavones, owing to its greater affinity for estrogen receptors, unique antiandrogenic properties, and superior antioxidant activity. However, not all individuals consuming daidzein produce equol. Only approximately one-third to one-half of the population is able to metabolize daidzein to equol. This high variability in equol production is presumably attributable to interindividual differences in the composition of the intestinal microflora, which may play an important role in the mechanisms of action of isoflavones. (PMID: 17579895, 17579894). Equol can be found in Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus and Eggerthella (PMID: 20519412; PMID: 18838805).

Puerarin
Puerarin is a hydroxyisoflavone that is isoflavone substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 7 and 4 and a beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue at position 8 via a C-glycosidic linkage. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a C-glycosyl compound and a hydroxyisoflavone. It is functionally related to an isoflavone. Puerarin has been investigated for the treatment of Alcohol Abuse. Puerarin is a natural product found in Neustanthus phaseoloides, Clematis hexapetala, and other organisms with data available. Puerarin, also known as Kakonein, is a member of the class of compounds known as isoflavonoid C-glycosides. These compounds are C-glycosylated derivatives of isoflavonoids, which are natural products derived from 3-phenylchromen-4-one. Puerarin is considered a slightly soluble (in water), acidic compound. Puerarin can be synthesized into puerarin xyloside. Puerarin is found in a number of plants and herbs, such as the root of the kudzu plant.
