What is 5-Methyl-7-Methoxy Isoflavone?

5-Methyl-7-Methoxy Isoflavone is a synthetic isoflavone that is derived from Ipriflavone. Ipriflavone is in turn a synthetic derivative of daidzein. Daidzein is one of the isoflavones, or phytoestrogens, that naturally occur in soybeans (others are daidzin, genisten, genistein, glycitin and glycitein).

The process for synthesizing 5-Methyl-7-Methoxy Isoflavone, also known as Methoxyflavone or Methoxy for short, was patented in 1979. The patent expired after the 20-year limit in 1999. Dietary ingredient manufacturers may now produce this substance freely.
