Genistein Combined Polysaccharide - Cobalamin (prescription drug) Interaction

Genistein combined polysaccharide is a supplement that comes from soybeans and mushrooms. It has genistein, a plant chemical that acts like estrogen (i.e., a phytoestrogen), and polysaccharide, a kind of sugar that helps the immune system. Genistein combined polysaccharide is made by mixing soy extract with a group of mushrooms called basidiomycetes. People take genistein combined polysaccharide to prevent and treat different kinds of cancer, especially those that are affected by hormones, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and bladder cancer. Some research suggests that genistein may stop cancer cells from growing, kill them, cut off their blood supply, lower inflammation, and balance hormone levels but more research is needed to make sure genistein combined polysaccharide is safe and effective for different health problems.
