Four-week supplementation with soy isoflavone may have beneficial effects on bone metabolism and on serum lipids in perimenopausal women.
These effects could have the potential to reduce risks of postmenopausal osteoporosis and of cardiovascular diseases in such women, say researchers at Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan. Twenty-three healthy perimenopausal women were assigned randomly to either isoflavone or placebo groups.
The isoflavone group (n=12) received daily capsules of soy isoflavone extract (61.8 mg of
isoflavones) and the placebo group (n=11) received daily placebo capsules for four weeks.
