Home -> Shop By Store -> IsoflavonesIsoflavonesWhat is Isoflavones ?The role of isoflavones is widely appreciated and is currently the subject of intense research. Isoflavones appear to protect against hormone-related disorders such as breast cancer. Isoflavones do this by competing with body's own estrogen for the same receptor sites on cells. Some of the risks of excess estrogen can be lowered in this way. Isoflavones can also have estrogen activity. If during menopause the body's natural level of estrogen drops, isoflavones can compensate by binding to same receptor sites thereby easing menopause symptoms as a result. The best way to consume isoflavones is in the form of Soy, so you can benefit from other healthy components of Soy. Soy contains many isoflavones, but the most beneficial are genistein and daidzein. The highest amounts of isoflavones can be found in soy nuts and tempeh. Isoflavones are fairly stable. Under normal cooking methods isoflavones are not destroyed. Health benefits of isoflavones Research in several areas of healthcare has shown that consumption of isoflavones may play a role in lowering risk for disease. Isoflavones can fight disease on several fronts. The following potential health benefits are attributed to isoflavones. |
