There is a growing awareness of the role of natural flavonoids as potential neuroactive compounds . Many studies examining mechanisms of single dietary flavonoid or as part of a flavonoid rich preparation have failed to understand their modes and sites of action . Medicinal plants ( including : Glycine max , Psidium guajava , Matricaria recutita , Hypericum perforatum and Ginkgo biloba ) were evaluated for their content of genistein and / or quercetin
