Equol

Equol is a compound produced by gut bacteria during the metabolism of the soy isoflavone daidzein. It functions as a non-steroidal estrogen and may offer various health benefits, including antioxidant and hormone-regulating effects. However, only certain individuals possess the specific gut bacteria capable of producing equol. Measuring equol in stool helps assess whether the gut microbiome can efficiently convert daidzein, providing insights into microbial diversity and function related to estrogen metabolism.
