Soy Isoflavones
Soy isoflavones are natural compounds found in soybeans and soy products, known for their ability to mimic estrogen in the body. They belong to a class of substances called phytoestrogens, which can influence hormone levels. Many people consume soy isoflavones for their potential health benefits, including supporting heart health, alleviating menopausal symptoms, and reducing the risk of certain cancers. Common sources include tofu, soy milk, and edamame. While generally considered safe, it’s advisable to consume them in moderation and consult a healthcare provider if you have specific health concerns.
