Soy Isoflavone
Soy isoflavones are natural plant compounds that can be found in soybeans and soy products. They have been studied for their role in hormonal balance, particularly in women during menopause, and may help alleviate menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, by mimicking the effects of estrogen in the body.
Additionally, soy isoflavones have been associated with potential cardiovascular benefits, as they may help lower LDL cholesterol levels, improve blood vessel function, and reduce the risk of heart disease. They also exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which contribute to overall health and may protect against chronic diseases.
Common food sources containing soy isoflavones are tofu, soy milk, and tempeh.
