Description

[0001] The present invention provides a method for preventing adverse effects associated with the administration of hormones such as phytoestrogens and steroidal estrogens.

[0002] Hormone intake by humans can occur through, inter alia, consumption of pharmaceutical compositions, foodstuffs, nutritional supplements, and nutraceuticals. Such hormones include phytoestrogens, or nonsteroidal estrogens, steroidal estrogens and progestins. Phytoestrogens comprise, for example, genistein, daidzein and glycitein, and their respective glucoside, malonylglucoside and acetylglucoside derivatives. Estrogens and progestins are known to be used for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and in contraceptive medications. HRT with estrogens or with estrogen / progestin combinations has been the standard method for treating symptoms associated with menopause (Emster V L et al.
