Soy Isoflavones
Manufacturer: Pure Encapsulations
Size: 90 vegetarian caps

Natural soy concentrate; reduces hot flashes

Soybeans and soy products such as tofu and tempeh are widely recognized for their health-promoting properties. The principle active components are isoflavones, phytochemicals which have demonstrated antioxidant, antiangiogenetic, and estrogenic activity. The isoflavones genistein and daidzein are potent antioxidants which promote and sustain the health of the body's immune system. In particular, soy isoflavones help insure the integrity of DNA against exogenous and endogenous stresses. As phytoestrogens, isoflavones exhibit weaker estrogenic activity than human estrogens but compete for the same receptor sites on human cells, thereby lowering the levels of circulating human estrogen. These phytoestrogens also increase growth hormone and prolactin; decrease luteinizing hormone; and have beneficial effects on hormone-related bone decalcification. In addition to their estrogenic activity, soy isoflavones promote healthy cholesterol levels without lowering levels of the beneficial HDL cholesterol.

Soy Isoflavones provide a convenient way to supplement the diet with the many health benefits of soy.
