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. Natrol Soy Isoflavones support the changing nutritional needs of women throughout all stages of life. Made from non-GMO soy.

Scientists classify soy isoflavones from the plant Glycine max as phytoestrogens. Phyto is a Greek root word meaning plant. Phytoestrogens are plant-based compounds that have estrogen-like activity. Because they are structurally similar to estrogens, these compounds compete for placement on cells receptor sites, just as estrogen does and exert estrogenic activity in the body. However, when the body's estrogen levels are naturally low, such as during menopause, there is insufficient amounts of estrogen to be fully effective. Because of their estrogen-like effects, isoflavones have been studied for a wide spectrum of health benefits from pre-menopausal symptoms to heart health.

Soy has been prized for centuries in Asia as a nutritious, high-protein food with a variety of uses. Today, it's popular not only in Asian food, but also as a cholesterol-free meat and dairy substitutes. This herb probably originated in China as a salt-fermented food called "Chiang" sometime during the Chou dynasty. It appears that fermented Soybean foods had been prepared for several centuries. All of our Soy products are processed using only water and are derived from Soy that has not been genetically engineered.

Several studies have shown soy isoflavones have beneficial effects on reducing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, reduced libido, and vaginal dryness. As well, studies have shown that isoflavones can reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering harmful cholesterol (LDL) while improving healthy cholesterol levels (HDL). The reduction of bone mineral density, which is a major contributor to osteoporosis, may also be significantly improved by the intake of soy isoflavones. Some studies are also showing that the risk for certain types of hormone related cancers, such as endometrial, breast, and prostate, can be lowered.

The isoflavones in Soy have been well researched by scientists for their antioxidant & phytoestrogenic properties. Eating Soybeans may help protect against breast cancer, possibly because they contain so-called phytoestrogens that help block the activity of cancer-promoting estrogen. A recent study found that pre-menopausal women in Singapore who ate twice as much soy protein as most people had only half the risk of breast cancer. Researchers found that those who ate the most soybean foods had the highest urine concentrations of isoflavonoids, which are anti-cancer agents, particularly against breast cancer and prostate cancer. Soybeans may also help fight off stomach cancer. Even eating it occasionally cut the odds of stomach cancer.

The mild estrogen activity of Soy isoflavones may ease menopause symptoms for some women, without creating estrogen-related problems. In addition, Soy may help regulate hormone levels in pre-menopausal women. The mild estrogenic activity of Soy isoflavones may ease menopause symptoms for some women, without creating estrogen-related problems. The beneficial health effects of soy have been shown in osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and menopausal symptoms.
