In its November 2002 edition, the Johns Hopkins medical newsletter, Health After 50, has addressed "easing through menopause without HRT" in depth. According to the newsletter, soy appears to be one of the most promising remedies to overcome menopausal discomfort.

Citing a report issued by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Johns Hopkins medical letter pointed out that dietary soy "is a staple in Asia" and has been proposed as "one reason for the lower rate of perimenopausal symptoms reported by Asian women." Soy foods "contain isoflavones, substances that have weak estrogen like effects."

The report issued by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said, "soy appears to be among the most promising of these remedies." The recommendation of soy was based on dietary intake. Meanwhile, the North American Menopause Society suggests that soy isoflavones, containing phytoestrogens, can also be a natural alternative to estrogen replacement therapy for relief of mild menopausal symptoms. Phytoestrogens may help offset the drop in estrogen and regulate its fluctuations that occur with the onset of menopause. Their survey found that 30 percent of the survey's respondents said they have used herbs or supplements to overcome perimenopausal discomfort and reported a reduction in their hot flashes and night sweats when they regularly consume soy products.

Isoflavones also play an important role in protecting and maintaining strong and healthy bones. Evidence shows that genistein and daidzein, the main phytoestrogens in Femwise™ Soy Isoflavones, prevent bones from breaking down. These phytoestrogens are natural plant forms of estrogen. Independent studies conducted at the University of Illinois and the University of Hong Kong concluded that consuming soy isoflavones can increase bone mineral content and bone density. Another study at the University of Texas suggested that isoflavones may also stimulate bone formation. By preserving bone health, increasing bone mass and inducing bone turnover, researchers noted the potential role of soy isoflavones in preventing, and possibly even reversing, the effects of osteoporosis.

So, why continue to suffer through the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause. Consider a natural alternative to the harmful effects of hormone replacement therapy, overcome menopausal discomfort and get natural relief with FEMWISE™ Soy Isoflavones.
