This study confirmed the oral toxicity and genotoxicity profile of standardized RenoFlavone™ under good laboratory practice (GLP) conditions.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial
A sample of 120 women (aged 18-40) suffering from primary dysmenorrhea were randomly assigned to either a placebo group or a RenoFlavone™ group, and a 3-month human trial was conducted. Effects of RenoFlavone™ intervention on the PMS and dysmenorrhea feeling. Comparison of baseline vs 3rd cycle values in each group (Wilcoxon test)a and between groups (Mann-Whitney U test)b.The results showed a statistically significant improvement in PMS-related symptoms with RenoFlavone™.

Genistein acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator, showing a stronger affinity and more stable binding for the Estrogen Receptor beta (ERβ) than the alpha receptor (ERα).
Upon administration of RenoFlavone™, the mRNA expression of ERα decreased in a dose-dependent manner and the mRNA expression of ERβ increased.
Isoflavones are a type of phytoestrogen commonly found in soybeans and soy-derived foods. There are 12 isoflavone isomers and genistein is one of them, which is also recognized as the most bioactive. Several biological effects of genistein have been reported in preclinical studies, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral activities, as well as effects on angiogenesis, estrogen, and pharmacological activities related to diabetes and lipid metabolism.
