Arkopharma Phyto Soya Menopause Expert Omega 3 60 Capsules

Phyto Soya? ? is a standardised soya extract of soy isoflavones, backed by safety trials, offering reassuring 24hour support for women to maintain balance and well-being during menopause.

Phyto Soya? is a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) based on clinical studies which show that the standardised isoflavones extract in Phyto Soya is recognized for its beneficial effects on the symptoms of menopause.

Concerns about the proliferation of estrogen-promoted random cell growth has been attributed to the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatment (The Women's Health Initiative). The main difference between conventional HRT and soy isoflavones is their effect on different estrogen receptors in the body.

Both hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and soy isoflavones have an estrogenic stimulating effect on the beta receptors controlling the brain, bones, blood vessels and lipoproteins. However, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) also has an estrogenic stimulating effect on the alpha receptors controlling the breasts and uterus, whereas soy isoflavones main components of Daidzein and Genistein have an anti-estrogenic effect.

This means that soy isoflavones are "Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators" (SERM), and have the ability to target the symptoms of menopause without causing rogue cell growth in the vital areas of the breasts and uterus.

The pan-European study conducted by Palacios et al. aimed to assess the effect of long term use (3 years) of an oralsoy isoflavone (Phyto Soya) on the endometrium and the breasts. This would assess whether or not the natural extract carried risks of accelerated cell growth in the breasts and uterus.

The results showed long term harmlessness of 70mg of Phyto Soya on the breast and endometrium
