Isoflavones

Isoflavones are one of a number of phyto-chemicals (natural chemicals found in plants). Isoflavones have been shown to have a number of health-promoting and therapeutic properties. In particular a series of isoflavones in soy foods have been shown to work in tandem with soy protein to assist in the health of the cardiovascular system, bones and prostate. They also have a reputation for reducing menopausal hot flushes. Genistein and daidzein are the two most plentiful isoflavones found in soy.
