Plant compound - Soy Isoflavones

Some scholars believe that if essential nutrients are essential for human growth and development, bone and muscle composition and other aspects, then compared with essential nutrients, plant compounds have more subtle and specific action sites in terms of function, only affecting the subtle parts of a body such as cell nodes and regulating metabolic pathways, so as to provide health effects beyond basic nutrition.

The chemical species derived from plants are numerous and complex in function, and can be classified according to their chemical structure or functional characteristics. Common phytochemicals such as carotenoids, phytosterols, saponins, glucosinolates, polyphenols, protease inhibitors, monoterpenoids, phytoestrogens, sulfides, phytic acid, etc.

Soy isoflavones are polyphenolic compounds. Food sources include various types of soybeans and their products, such as beancurd, soybean flour, soy protein extract, dried beancurd, tofu, and soy milk. Soybean isoflavones can be partially destroyed by baking, but not easily lost by cooking.

Soybean isoflavones can significantly reduce total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein, apolipoprotein β, and promote the increase of high density lipoprotein, repair the damage caused by lipid oxidation in peripheral arteries, and inhibit the formation of atherosclerosis. Therefore, soybean isoflavone has a strong effect on lipid reduction.

Soy isoflavones have estrogen-like effects, which can significantly prevent and cure chronic diseases related to estrogen level in the body and have a bidirectional regulation effect, that is, no matter the level of estrogen in the body is too much or too little, soy isoflavones in food can show benefits, especially to improve perimenopausal syndrome.

In addition, soy isoflavones can slow bone loss, prevent osteoporosis, and alleviate the discomfort of menopause in women. Soy isoflavone also has a good effect on tumor inhibition, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer.
