While chemically distinct from human estrogen, certain plant-derived compounds called phytoestrogens possess a similar structure, allowing them to bind to the body's estrogen receptors and produce mild hormonal effects. Understanding what are the most powerful phytoestrogens requires a look beyond simple concentration to their bioavailability and how the body processes them.

Based on in-vitro (laboratory) testing, the prenylated flavonoid 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) is considered the strongest phytoestrogen known to date. While its in-lab potency significantly surpasses more common phytoestrogens, its real-world effect in the human body is complicated by factors like bioavailability and individual metabolism.
