Phyto-Soy® is a standardized powdered soy extract rich in the most important isoflavones studied in recent scientific research.
Phyto-Soy® contains phytoestrogens that can help maintain hormonal balance. These phytonutrients are linked to the positive effects of soy-based diets.
Healthy hormone balance may help support a positive mood and help lift mild mood changes that often accompany female hormone cycles and menopause.
Certified non-GMO Phyto-Soy® contains 48x more isoflavonoids than comparable amounts of tofu, 25 x more than tempeh, and 10x more than roasted soybeans.
For maximum effectiveness, Phyto-Soy® contains a mixture of isoflavonoids: genistein, daidzein and glycitein.
Three capsules of Phyto-Soy® supply 36 mg isoflavones, 28 mg of which are genistein glycosides.
Soybeans contains important nutrients, known as phytoestrogens, that may help balance hormone levels.
These plant-sourced, hormone-like compounds are much weaker than human estrogens.
Phytoestrogens are believed to help balance female hormone levels by mimicking the effects of estrogen in the body and binding to estrogen receptor sites.
If estrogen levels are insufficient, phytoestrogens can bind to estrogen receptors and act like estrogen; but if estrogen levels are excessive, phytoestrogens can bind to estrogen receptors in place of estrogen, thereby preventing estrogen from binding and effectively reducing estrogen's effects on the body.
One group of phytoestrogens, called isoflavonoids, is found in great concentration in soybeans and soy products.
Isoflavonoids are known for their antioxidant activity and appear to positively influence estrogen levels in younger women.
Isoflavonoids also offer cardiovascular benefits by supporting healthy blood vessel function and helping to maintain normal-range blood pressure.
Some research suggests that isoflavonoids can also help lower LDL (or "bad) cholesterol and may even slightly increase HDL (or "good") cholesterol.
Soy bean extract (standardized to 10% isoflavones - each dose provides 12 mg isoflavones as genistein, daidzein and glycitein).
