Description
"Soy Isoflavones" are a supplement derived from soybeans, containing naturally occurring phytoestrogens that interact with estrogen receptors. These compounds assist in maintaining hormonal equilibrium and contribute to bone strength by influencing mineral retention. Isoflavones also aid in cardiovascular function through their effects on cholesterol metabolism. Beyond these structural roles, they provide antioxidant activity that helps manage oxidative exposure. Found in plant-based nutrition, they remain a recognized component of supplementation for those incorporating estrogen-like compounds into their daily health regimen.

When To Take It
Soy isoflavones can be taken at any time during the day, though morning intake may be most beneficial for individuals dealing with menopausal symptoms throughout the day.
Synergy and Antagonism
Soy isoflavones work synergistically with vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and boron to support bone density and estrogen balance. However, excessive intake of phytoestrogenic compounds like flaxseed extract, red clover extract, and dong quai extract may alter hormone balance.
