Super Absorbable Soy Isoflavones 60 caps.

In recent years, the beneficial effects of genistein and other soy isoflavones have been shown in numerous published studies. These studies reveal that those who consume the most soy maintain healthier cell colonies.^9-12*

Other constituents of soy have also demonstrated effects that help explain the health and longevity of Asian populations who consume a great deal of soy in their diet. In response to increasing evidence that other constituents of soy may provide significant cell protective effects, a new formulation has been developed that provides the same standardized isoflavone extract that has been in previous Life Extention formulations of soy products, plus fermented soy natto that may provide additional benefits.*

Soy natto enhances isoflavone absorption and provides other nutrients contributed by the fermentation process.^13,14The enhanced absorption of genistein, daidzein, etc. may be significant enough that only one capsule of Super Absorbable Soy Isoflavones is required each day.

The fermented soy natto used in this formula incorporates a novel yeast (instead of bacteria) fermentation process. Japanese researchers have found that this type of cultured broth from yeast helps promote healthy cell colonies.^15*

^{Background information on the Benefits of Soy
Products}

Genistein and other soy components provide anticancer protection by the following mechanisms:

Blocking the cell mutating actions of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other pollutants by preventing their binding to estrogen-testosterone cell receptor sites in the breast and prostate.
Inhibition of the activity of tyrosine kinase, an enzyme required for most tumor cell proliferation.
Inhibition of new blood vessel growth required to feed tumors.
Inhibition of cancer cell protein synthesis.
Induction of cancer cells to differentiate into normal cells.

The following forms of cancer have been shown to respond favorably to soy adjuvant therapy:

Prostate cancer
Leukemia
Glioblastoma multiforme
Bladder cancer

Other Medical Benefits of Soy

According to published studies, the daily intake of sufficient soy isoflavones may:

Alleviate post-menopausal symptoms
Stimulate bone formation
Inhibit LDL cholesterol oxidation
Reduce total and LDL cholesterol levels
Inhibit the development or progression of atherosclerosis
Prevent gallstones
Reduce the risk of cancer at multiple sites
Protect kidney function
Disease Prevention in Postmenopausal Women

Caution
Persons with estrogen dependent cancers should consult a healthcare professional before beginning a soy regimen. The genistein in soy can interfere with the ability of radiation to kill cancer cells, though there are contradictory studies on this issue. When undergoing treatment for cancer consult your healthcare practitioner before using soy products.
