Helps Support Women's Health

Isoflavones are proposed to have health benefits in a variety of human conditions, including coronary heart disease, menopause, osteoporosis, endocrine-responsive cancers, and cyclic mastalgia (monthly breast pain). Many isoflavones have estrogen-like properties and, because of a favorable side-effect profile, may be ideal alternatives to hormone replacement therapy with respect to cardiovascular benefits. Increased isoflavone intake affects estrogen metabolism by altering the steroid hormone concentrations and menstrual cycle length, thereby demonstrating a potential to reduce the risk for breast carcinoma.
