PHYTO-EST™: MENOPAUSAL RELIEF

By Ana P. Echeverri, MD

Soya isoflavones have very versatile health giving benefits. The principle soya isoflavones include the compounds genistein, daidzein and glycetin. Much research has occurred with these isoflavones to characterize their biopharmaceutical effects.

Soya isoflavones are active in inhibiting the growth of many different types of cancer and they have complex metabolic effects such as playing a role in lowering blood cholesterol. It has been clearly documented by many leading world experts that soya isoflavones are estrogenic in action, and this action accounts for their ability to have a beneficial effect in breast cancer prevention and perhaps treatment; For example, the UCLA breast clinic has just received a multimillion dollar project grant to investigate soya-based diets and other nutrients in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. It is believed by many that it is the soya isoflavones which exert the important anticancer effects.

Earl Mindell in his book entitled Earl Mindell's Soy Miracle (A Fireside Book by Simon and Schuster, New York, 1935) points to the value of soya in suppressing menopausal symptoms. Earl Mindell clearly reports the results of studies by Canadian, researchers of Japanese women where menopausal complaints such as "hot flushes or hot flashes" are much less in Japanese than in Western women. The product Phyto-EST™ contains enough isoflavones to achieve daily intakes of isoflavones similar to those taken by Japanese women who tend not to have menopausal symptoms. This lack of menopausal symptoms in Orientals is a function of soya isoflavones and Phyto-EST™ offers a clear alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapy, with all of its drawbacks.

Most women with menopausal symptoms would be better advised to try Phyto-EST™ to control unpleasant menopausal symptoms rather than take estrogenic drugs with their side effects. Remember, the side effects of estrogen drugs are not insignificant and prescription estrogens are associated with breast cancer development and uterine cancer in the post- menopausal female. At last, females have a safer option to try first.
