Glycinol is a pterocarpan, a type of natural phenol. It is a phytoalexin found in the soybean (Glycine max). It is formed by the cyclisation of daidzein.^{[citation needed]}

More recent literature supports that glycinol has potent phytoestrogenic activity.^[1]^[2]

The so-called osteogenesis that is causes is postulated to be a preventative factor for osteoporosis.^{[citation needed]}

It can be synthethised chemically and possesses two chiral centers.^[3]

Glycinol is the direct precursor of glyceollins through the action of a prenyltransferase.^{[citation needed]}

Experiments show that the 6a oxygen of glycinol is derived from molecular oxygen.^[4]
