Soy Isoflavones & Woman Health

Soy isoflavones are 100% natural, extracted from the essence of soybean germ at a low temperature. They are a type of naturally occurring isoflavonoids, many of which act as phytoestrogens in mammals, which means they are similar in structure to the female hormone, estrogen. Isoflavones are also considered antioxidant compounds, which can reduce damage due to oxygen (such as that caused by free radicals) and may help fight against certain types of cancer.

The biological activities of soy isoflavones are mainly reflected in their estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activities. And the anti-estrogenic effect in reproductive tissue could help reduce the risk of hormone-associated cancers (such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, and prostate cancer), while the estrogenic effect in other tissues could help maintain bone mineral density and improve blood lipid profiles.

Besides that, study shows that soy isoflavones can effectively prevent osteoporosis, some controlled trials in postmenopausal women have found that increasing the intake of soy foods, soy protein, or soy isoflavones can improve the markers of bone resorption and formation or attenuate bone loss.

Furthermore, it is indicated that soy isoflavones can relieve menopausal symptoms to a certain degree. Supplements containing sufficient amounts of genistein may help ease menopausal symptoms, such as reducing and relieving hot flashes and night sweats, and that’s how they got another name: Natural Phytoestrogens, which are dedicated to women’s health in particular.
