Estrogen Inhibitors – Where are they found?

Some of the most potent estrogen inhibitors belong to the family of plant flavones and are found in passion flower, chamomile flower, onion, garlic, citrus fruits, raw honey and bee products.

Other potent estrogen inhibitors belong to another family of naturally occurring compounds in plants called indoles. Estrogen inhibiting indoles are found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage. The estrogen inhibiting and modulating effect of crucifers indoles may explain why these vegetables have been widely regarded to be cancer preventing food.

It is important to note that all the above estrogen inhibitors are not estrogen mimickers. Not like soy isoflavones, they do not have any inherent estrogenic activity.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
