Cicer arietinum (chickpea) extract is derived from the dried mature seeds of Cicer arietinum. It contains isoflavones, saponins, phytosterols, dietary fiber, proteins, and various trace elements, along with bioactive compounds such as biochanin A, formononetin, daidzein, and genistein. Isoflavones are the primary functional components, with their content varying by cultivar and growing region; the extract product can be standardized to a total isoflavone content of no less than 8%. These active constituents exhibit multiple beneficial effects, including estrogenic activity, endocrine balance regulation, relief of menopausal symptoms, antioxidant properties, free radical scavenging, improvement of lipid metabolism, reduction of inflammatory responses, and support for bone and cardiovascular health. Chickpea extract holds broad application prospects in women’s health supplements, functional foods, natural phytoestrogen replacement therapies, anti-aging skincare products, and adjunctive management of metabolic syndrome.
