Soy Isoflavones

Supports Hormonal Balance and Bone Health!

Soy is a natural source of isoflavones that provide benefits such as hormonal balance support and bone health.  The amount of soy isoflavones necessary to achieve these benefits can be difficult to incorporate into today's diet.  Soy Isoflavones support the changing nutritional needs of women throughout all stages of life.  Soy Isoflavones are powerful plant substances chemically similar to the female hormone estrogen.  Their presence in soy foods may help to explain why people in countries where soy is a big part of the diet suffer from relatively few menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.  It may also explain why rates of certain hormone-related cancers are much lower in Asia than they are in many parts of the West, including the United States.

Two particularly important isoflavones in soy, genistein and daidzein, appear to protect against hormone-related disorders such as breast cancer and endometriosis.  They do this by competing for the same place on cells (receptor sites) that the body's own estrogen does.  Some of the risks of excess estrogen, including breast and uterine cancer, can apparently be lowered in this way.   Similarly, when the body's natural levels of estrogen drop, as they do with menopause, Soy Isoflavones can compensate by binding to some of the cell receptor sites that estrogen once did.  Menopausal symptoms may improve as a result.   Research findings suggest that Soy Isoflavones may also inhibit cancer-causing enzymes, provide antioxidant protection, and enhance the immune system.*   Additional Soy Isoflavones Information
