There is increasing evidence in the scientific literature that oriental diets provide significantly more plant nutrients with cellular protective effects than western diets. A group of these beneficial plant compounds, known as isoflavones, have become increasingly popular with nutritionists as research indicates they may have positive effects on bodily well-being, particularly for women.
Isoflavones are flavonoids, a family of plant compounds, present in high concentrations in soybeans. Soybeans contain numerous valuable components such as proteins, isoflavones, saponins and phytosterols. Soy isoflavones have now become a convenient and popular supplement for women nearing or in the menopause stage, as there is increasing evidence about their contribution to bone health.
LAMBERTS Soy Isoflavones is one of the most potent products on the market, reflecting the level and profile of isoflavones used by researchers in the most relevant scientific studies.
The amount of isoflavones in supplements can be confusing, as some companies list the amount of soy extract on the label as if all of it is "isoflavones." This is somewhat impossible, since the isoflavones are only found in the extracts in percentages between 10% and 30%. However, LAMBERTS does take this into account when quoting the amount of isoflavones on the label, so each tablet provides 50mg of isoflavones.
