Natural Remedy for Menopause?
NATURAL REMEDY FOR MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS PROVEN
Seven different studies at a conference all point to one conclusion: S-equol is a safe, natural and effective solution for the symptoms of menopause.
If a postmenopausal woman is one of the 20 to 30 percent of women who have the right type of bacteria in their intestinal tract, and if she consumes a sufficient amount of soy, those bacteria convert a component of soy – an isoflavone known as daidzien – into S-equol, which has been shown to alleviate menopausal symptoms naturally.
S-equol appears to bind to estrogen receptors, which, studies have shown, is not related to breast cancer risk. In one study, women who were not natural S-equol producers, were given 10 mg daily of S-equol for 12 weeks and this significantly reduced their hot flashes and muscle discomfort. S-equol was also shown to prevent loss of bone density. Further research may confirm that S-equol supplements will prevent all menopausal symptoms in S-equol non-producers. The Life Sciences Research Office (LSRO) held an Equol, Soy and Menopause Research conference in Washington DC and the results of seven study presentations have been published in the July, 2010 issue of the Journal of Nutrition.
