Why Soy Products For Menopause Relief Is Not Recommended

By Graciela Wynn Chavez


Soy products or otherwise called soy foods are of colossal benefits in almost all health-related issues. Alongside their aid in the prevention of menopausal, they also play a major role in treating breast as well as other cancers, osteoporosis, and also the heart disease. Some of the notable examples of soy foods include soy cheese, soy milk, soybeans, soy protein concentrate and soy protein. Some innovative companies have also invented soy pills from soy phytochemicals, and consequently advertised them as being natural medicines that relieve menopausal symptoms, alongside other disorders. soy products for hot flashes are of immense value, most especially for their relief of menopause symptoms.

Soy is extremely rich in isoflavones, some types of phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are simply chemicals embedded in plants that are characterized as having similar functions with estrogens. It is argued that the body can synthesize them to work similarly with estrogens.



Menopausal-related disorders such as night sweats and hot flashes have originally been treated using conventional medicines. However, the inference that soy and its various forms is rich in phytoestrogen which acts like estrogen in reducing the wrath of menopausal discomforts has made many people prefer it to the previous treatment methods, most especially because it is natural. Soy food industries as well as other supplement industries have since embarked on developing alternative treatment methods of menopause symptoms, by dint of soy.

The message that soy phytoestrogens act in similar capacity as surrogate estrogens has been widely spread, and this thereby gives women the general impression that they can alternatively prefer soy products to relieve symptoms of dwindling estrogen levels at their menopausal stage, albeit naturally. However, the research does not confirm that isoflavones act as estrogens, and therefore the conclusion that they are all a woman needs to alleviate her menopausal symptoms, cannot be completely validated.

Soy and its various forms have no notable impact in eliminating vasomotor signs like vaginal dryness and hot flashes. Research confirms that they only help to negligibly reduce their intensity, and not necessarily eliminating them like the conventional medicines do.Additionally, soy foods encompass anti nutritional factors like oxalates, protease inhibitors, saponins and soya toxins, among others.

Recent studies reveal that the use of soy foods does not completely eradicate discomforts of menopause or menopausal symptoms, and instead, the isoflavones contained in them act as goitrogens, and hence suppress ones thyroid functions. Suppression of the thyroid further leads to other health disorders like difficulties in losing weight, hardships in losing weight, insomnia, mood swings and general anxiety, digestive problems and food allergies, among many others.

The use of soy does not effectively solve the menace of hot flashes or any other discomforts of menopause. The hormonal mimics they harbor, called isoflavones, instead, cause disruptions to the hormonal systems of the body, which are highly delicate. Further disorders like insomnia and mood swings among others, are also resultant.

Conclusively, though there has been a speculation that the use of soy and its products helps in the managing of menopause discomforts, there is no valid proof for this.
