Soy Isoflavones & Menopause

What every woman should know

Take charge of your life.

Make positive lifestyle changes, such as not smoking, eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and being physically active.

Know your soy.

Findings from a recent scientific review show that soy isoflavones derived from the whole soybean, rather than soy germ, are more effective in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes.

Go natural.

Whole soybean derived isoflavones are a natural alternative for reducing menopause symptoms like hot flashes.

Do what works.

Although many soyfoods contain isoflavones, getting the recommended dose of the right soy isoflavones can be difficult. Most women would need to eat the equivalent of at least one-half pound of tofu per day to get the right amount of soy isoflavones. Not surprisingly, many women often find supplements easier to incorporate into their active, busy lives.
