Isoflavonas de Soja 60 mg, 120 Cápsulas Vegetales - NOW Foods

What are Soy Isoflavones?

Soy isoflavones are natural plant compounds especially concentrated in soy. These include genistein, daidzein, and glycitein, active ingredients that have been the subject of numerous studies for their role in women's health. This NOW Foods supplement provides 60 mg of soy isoflavones per vegetable capsule, with a minimum of 40% total isoflavones, ensuring a complete and balanced profile.

Unlike other products, NOW Foods uses a unique extraction process that concentrates higher levels of genistein, the most studied isoflavone. This represents a qualitative leap in the bioavailability and efficacy of the supplement.

Health Benefits of Soy Isoflavones

Soy isoflavones are known for their structural similarity to human estrogens, which gives them a modulating effect on hormonal balance. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claim: soy isoflavones contribute to the maintenance of bone health in postmenopausal women. This support is especially relevant during menopause, when bone mineral density tends to decrease.

In addition, it has been suggested that isoflavones may help alleviate hot flashes and other symptoms associated with menopause, although these claims have not been evaluated by the EFSA. They are also believed to possess antioxidant properties that protect cells from oxidative damage.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.

Each NOW Foods Soy Isoflavones vegetable capsule contains:
