Product Description
What are Soy Isoflavones?
The soya bean has been a staple of south−east Asian diets since 1100BC but it wasn't until the late 20th century that it began to tickle the taste buds of Europeans and Americans. Around the middle of the last century, scientists became aware that soya, along with some other plant−based foods, including bean sprouts, chickpeas, flaxseed, sesame seeds and whole grains, contain compounds called isoflavones, which are natural phytoestrogens, literally oestrogens from plants, that are similar in structure to the human hormone oestrogen.
Why choose Healthspan?
Each vegan tablet contains 100mg natural soy extract, providing 40% isoflavones, which is the minimum amount experts recommend per day. Also included is 120mg of calcium which helps to reduce the loss of bone mineral in post-menopausal women. Low bone mineral density is a risk factor for osteoporotic bone fractures.
Who is this for?
Women who want to increase their intake of soy isoflavones without changing their eating habits. Soy Isoflavones are found naturally in soybeans and soy foods, such as tofu, edamame beans and miso, however it's extremely difficult to get good levels of soy isoflavones from western diets.
