Menopause and Soy
When estrogens and other hormones decline during menopause, women start to experience a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes along with more serious complications such as bone loss.
After menopause, it therefore becomes especially important for women to support heart health, bone strength, and metabolism. Soy can play a helpful role!
For decades, research has highlighted the benefits of soy, have been proven to have many beneficial effects in postmenopausal women. (1)
Soy Isoflavones Benefits
Soy contains phytoestrogens, which are plant compounds with estrogen-like effects, known as isoflavones. Soy isoflavones, such as genistein, daidzein, and glycitein, have shown a range of positive effects. (1-4)
Compounds like genistein and daidzein selectively activate estrogen receptors, primarily targeting Erβ in bone, urogenital tissue, and the cardiovascular system, rather than Erα, which is found mainly in breast and uterine tissues. (5)
This selective action makes soy isoflavones beneficial for postmenopausal women by helping to (1-9):
- Maintain bone density
- Promote heart health
- Support metabolism
- Encourage healthy cellular signalling
- Keep healthy blood lipid and glucose levels
Moreover, soy isoflavones can also help fight oxidative stress, contributing to wellness and longevity no matter what stage of life you are in.
