Selected Flavonols in Breast and Gynecological Cancer: A Systematic Review
Nutrients (2023) · Systematic review
The consumption of foods that are rich in phenolic compounds has chemopreventive effects on many cancers, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer.
Based on meta-analysis showing mean reductions of 5.39 mmHg systolic and 2.66 mmHg diastolic. Effects are modest and may not be clinically significant for all individuals. GI side effects increase notably above 6g.
Based primarily on one RCT with exercise intervention (n=60) and systematic reviews without dose-specific data. Long-term safety unclear. Bioavailability highly dependent on formulation - standard fisetin has poor absorption.
