California Health's soy supplements can be used by both men and women to promote bone density, maintain healthy cholesterol levels and reduce heart disease risk. Recent studies indicate that soy isoflavones may improve immune system response, and relieve symptoms associated with PMS and menopause. California Health's patent-pending formula maximizes isoflavone absorption.
Soybeans are unique among beans because they contain compounds called isoflavones.
Isoflavones are a specific type of phytochemical. Phytochemicals are non-nutritive, meaning they are neither vitamins nor minerals. Two isoflavones predominant in soy are genistein and daidzein. The objective of many of the studies is to identify possible cancer and heart disease-preventive properties of isoflavones. Different brands of soy supplements vary in their ingredients and effectiveness.
