Abstract Genistein, a bioactive isoflavone, offers therapeutic potential but is hindered by poor water solubility, limiting its oral bioavailability. This study aimed to enhance genistein’s solubility by developing solid dispersion (SD) and formulating them into tablets. The SDs were prepared using…
