Review, Journal: Phytoestrogens as Potential Anti-Osteoporosis Nutraceuticals: Major Sources and Mechanism(s) of Action. (Pubmed Central) - May 13, 2025 Denosumab, an FDA-approved antiresorptive monoclonal antibody, also has drawbacks including high costs, biannual subcutaneous injections, slow healing, impaired bone growth and side effects like eczema, flatulence, cellulitis, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and an increased risk of spinal fractures after discontinuation of treatment...Their tissue-selective activities are particularly significant: anti-estrogenic effects in reproductive tissues may lower the risk of hormone-related cancers (such as ovarian, uterine, breast, and prostate cancers), while estrogenic effects on bone could contribute to the preservation of bone mineral density.Phytoestrogens are, thus, used in managing breast and prostate cancers, cardiovascular diseases, menopause, and osteoporosis. The presentreview focuses on the botanical origin,classification, sources and mechanism(s) of action of major phytoestrogens, their potential in prevention and management of osteoporosis and the requirement for additional clinical trials to achieve more definitive outcomes in order to confirm their efficacy and dosage safety.
