Organika's Soy Isoflavones are derived from Non Genetically Modified (non-GMO) soy beans and contain 50 mg potency of Soy Extract with a minimum of 40% soy isoflavones. Research has shown increased consumption of Soy may help to reduce menopausal symptoms (without side effects), can help lower cholesterol levels and inhibit the growth of cancers.

Soy - A Phytoestrogen

Phytoestrogen benefits of soy isoflavone include menopause relief and cholesterol management. While increasing the amount of soy in the diet may elevate levels of phytoestrogens, more consistent and beneficial levels can be achieved through a quality soy isoflavone supplement. 

Soy contains isoflavones that have phytoestrogenic properties.  This means that they contains plant estrogens, compounds that look similar to human estrogen and can interact with estrogen receptors in the human body. The important thing to remember is that these plant estrogens only stimulate the receptors a fraction of the amount that the hormone estrogen would.  Therefore soy isoflavones can be used to treat conditions of high estrogen activity, by blocking the activity of the hormone estrogen.  They can also treat conditions of low estrogen activity by binding to vacant receptor sites and causing a bit of hormonal stimulation. 

Estrogen Explained

Estrogens are a group of hormones that are produced in the ovaries, in females, and in small amounts in the male testicles. One form, estrone, is produced in the fat cells of both men and women. Throughout a women’s life the balance of female hormones affects her overall health and vitality. Both high and low levels of estrogen are associated with health problems. Estrone is strong in terms of its stimulation of the body and must be kept in check by having adequate levels of the other estrogens, estradiol and estriol.  High estrone increases the risk of heart disease, cancer polycystic ovaries and PMS.  

Estrone becomes more abundant in women who are obese.  Estradiol is the most abundant estrogen in women of reproductive age.  It is responsible for female characteristics, protecting the bones and cardiovascular system, keeping the hair and skin vital and maintaining fertility.  High levels of estradiol cause the same problems as high levels of estrone. Estriol becomes important in postmenopausal women but it only stimulates the body a little as compared to estrone and estradiol. Optimal levels of estriol protect women from complaints of aging like heart disease, loss of hair, skin wrinkling, cancer and bone loss.

Take 4 to 5 Organika Soy Isoflavones 50mg capsules per day with a glass of water.  Take a few hours before or after taking other medications or health care products.
