Soy Isoflavones and Bone Loss in Women

Researches on calcium supplementation came to a point that ladies can still absorb the supplemented calcium in their 40s or was that 50s?

Women, because they get pregnant & give birth, are more liable to bone loss even before menopause. Add post menopausal to that & ladies are in trouble bone-loss wise.

Anyways¦

Here something that may slow bone loss in postmenopausal ladies: supplementation with soy-germ derived isoflavones. Thats according to an American study that involved over 400 postmenopausal women

Only the 120 mg per day produced benefits, with significantly reduced loss of whole body bone mineral density (BMD) after both and years.

Over 400 postmenopausal females participated in the multicenter, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled year, which used either 80 or 120 mg of soy hypocotyl aglycone isoflavones (Frutarom SoyLife) and calcium (400 mg) and vitamin D (400 IU).

Frutarom SoyLife is a soy germ ingredient rich in isoflavones that is obtainable in the market.
