Why take soy isoflavones

Soybean isoflavone is a kind of plant estrogen, also known as plant estrus hormone, is a natural hormone, isoflavone is a kind of flavonoid compounds, mainly exists in legumes, is a class of secondary metabolites formed in the growth of soybeans. The estrogen effect of soy isoflavones affects hormone secretion, metabolic biological activity, protein synthesis, and growth factor activity. It is a natural cancer chemopreventive agent, which can make up for the deficiency of estrogen secretion in women after 30 years old, improve skin moisture and elasticity, alleviate menopausal syndrome and improve osteoporosis.

Applicable population

1, suitable for middle-aged and elderly women

According to the understanding of the decline of female ovarian function, soy isoflavones in women around 35 years old start to need to take isoflavones. Small doses should be taken before the age of 40, adequate doses should be used between the ages of 41 and 50, and large doses should be taken after the age of 50; The dose of menopausal symptoms must be increased, according to personal feelings and body reactions to adjust the size of the dose. (Note: Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not take isoflavones.)

2, suitable for sick people

Cardiovascular patients;

Soy isoflavones · Senile dementia;

Prostatic hypertrophy;

Osteoporosis;

Female menopausal disorder.

3, suitable for sub-healthy people

Improve liver function and prevent diabetes in the population;

Patients with constipation;

Beauty, anti-aging skin.

Main function

1. Antioxidant effect

genistein contained 5.7.4 triphenol hydroxyl group and daidzein contained 7.4 diphenol hydroxyl group. As an oxygen supplier, the phenol hydroxyl group reacts with the free radical to generate corresponding ions or molecules, extinguishes the free radical and terminates the chain reaction of the free radical. Soybean isoflavone also has a clear antioxidant effect on the whole animal, and soybean isoflavone extract also has a significant inhibitory effect on the increase of peroxide level and the decrease of antioxidant enzyme activity caused by adriamycin in mice.

2. Estrogen-like effect

Isoflavones are typical phytoestrogens. Soybean isoflavones can not only replace estrogen and ER, but also interfere with the combination of estrogen and ER, showing anti-estrogen effect. Soy isoflavones showed estrogen activity or anti-estrogen activity mainly depended on the hormone metabolism status of the subjects themselves. It shows antiestrogenic activity in high estrogen levels, such as young animals and estrogenized animals and young women. Estrogen activity was shown in patients with low estrogen levels, such as young animals, ovariectomized animals and postmenopausal women. The estrogen-like effects of soy isoflavones have certain preventive and therapeutic effects on many diseases related to hormone withdrawal in elderly women, such as elevated blood lipids, atherosclerosis and osteoporosis.

3. Effects of soy isoflavones on cardiovascular system

Soybean isoflavone compounds can improve myocardial ischemia symptoms through different ways, dilate blood vessels, inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride content, and have anti-arrhythmia effect. In the endocrine system, isoflavone compounds mainly show estrogen-like effects, which have the same excitatory and inhibitory effects as estrogen, and some isoflavone compounds can also affect bone reabsorption, so it is beneficial for the treatment of bone diseases.

4. Anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects

Epidemiological studies on the effects of inhibitory enzymes and growth factors have shown that soy as the only dietary source of G (genistein) may be related to the relatively low incidence of breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer in China and Japan, and the plasma level of total isoflavones in Japan is 7-100 times higher than that in Westerners. The research mainly includes the following aspects:

● Prevention of Alzheimer's disease

Supplementing with soy isoflavones can reduce blood concentration and prevent certain types of protein from being deposited in the brain to prevent Alzheimer's disease

● Prevention of cardiovascular disease

Soy isoflavones can prevent the formation of atherosclerosis and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases

● Prevention of breast cancer

Soy isoflavones can bind to estrogen receptors, thereby reducing the activity of estrogen and reducing the risk of breast cancer in women due to high estrogen levels.

● Improve the quality of sex life

The estrogen-like effect of soy isoflavones can moisturize the important target organ of women -- vagina, increase gonadal secretion, thicken vaginal epithelium, enhance the elasticity of female vaginal muscles, thus improving the quality of sexual life.
