Coumestrol is an Isoflavone found in plants and herbs such as Pueraria Mirifica or Kwao Krua Kao, Red Clover, Soy , Yam and Alfalfa Sprouts where Isoflavones are types of Flavonoids found in the same plants and has estrogenic actions on peripheral reproductive tissues. Coumestrol is classified as Phytoestrogen since it is a plant-derived nonsteroidal compound that possesses estrogen-like biological activity and it's environmentally derived substance that bind to the oestrogen (estrogen) receptor (ER). The Phytoestrogen Coumestrol has estrogenic actions on peripheral reproductive tissues.

Studies show that in animal models, Coumestrol is an atypical oestrogen that does not stimulate uterine cellular hyperplasia. Since Coumestrol had lack of true estrogenic activity in the study, it was characterised by the inability to cause cytosolic ER depletion, nuclear ER accumulation, or to stimulation nuclear type II sites which characteristically precede estrogenic stimulation of cellular DNA synthesis and proliferation.
