Soys Secret for Womens Health
Formost of human history, we existed in a world that was very differentfrom the one today. Our endocrine system evolved in an environmentwithout synthetic chemicals. Unfortunately, today were surrounded byartificial hormone-mimicking compounds that disrupt the subtlebiological processes that determine growth and reproduction. Receptorson our cells meant to receive natural bodily hormones can also acceptmolecules other than the ones they were intended to receive, placing ourendocrine system under considerable duress.
Fortunately, certainplants contain estrogen-like compounds that are also accepted by hormonereceptors in the human body – but with beneficial effects. Soybean isone of the plants containing the isoflavone genistein which can helpregulate and maintain normal menstrual cycles and menopausaltransitions. In addition, it provides a wide variety of the many healthbenefits associated with soy. Planetary Formulas Soy GenisteinIsoflavone 1000 is a concentrated form of the essence of the soybean.
TheSecret of Soy
Not surprisingly, it was Ben Franklin who firstintroduced America to soybeans. Always on the lookout for beneficialimports, he was intrigued by the soybean cheese he saw in England.Today, tofu and other soy products are gaining popularity here in theWest, in good part due to the reported benefits to populations thatconsume a considerable amount of soy products.
Some researchers havepostulated that the high intake of soy foods by Asians may be a keyfactor in their low incidence of certain health problems that are commonin the West. For example, epidemiological studies show that women inAsia have a higher occurrence of normal trouble-free menopause.
Thehigh concentrations of phytonutrients in soy include phytosterols andisoflavones an important class of bioflavonoids whose properties havebeen well researched. Of the seven isoflavones in soybeans, the mostactive are reportedly genistein and daidzein. Planetary Formulas SoyGenistein Isoflavone 1000 contains over 15 mg of genistein, 65 mg ofdaidzein, and 125 mg of total isoflavones per four 1000 mg tablets.
Genisteinand Estrogen
The subject of scientific studies since 1966,genistein research has been published in many respected journals. Invitro, genistein has been shown to bind to the same receptor sites asestrogen (3, 7). This may help to maintain normal menstrual cycles andmenopausal transitions by two competing and seemingly paradoxicalactions. By competing for human estrogen receptors, genistein may reducethe effects of estrogen in the body (3, 7). Conversely, when there istoo little estrogen (the situation during menopause), phytoestrogens -genistein and daidzein – may substitute for the lack of human estrogen,mitigating the effects of its absence (3, 7).
Genistein andCell Growth
One of genisteins most promising functions is itspotential to inhibit capillary proliferation. (5, 10, 13) According tostudies done in vitro, genistein protects tissues by neutralizingvascular endothelial growth factor (vegF) (8).
Soybeans are the onlysignificant dietary source of genistein; however, most Americans fail toconsume soy foods in significant amounts. In Asia, the daily intake canbe up to 20 times that of a Western diet.
