Wow, what a difference! Soy Isoflavones were recommended to me by GYN Dr. to help with my peri-menopausal night sweats and hot flashes.

Soy ingestion CAUSED me to have breast cysts, skin rashes, ovarian cysts, weight gain, skin flushing, hair loss on head, weight gain, hair growth on face and in inappropriate locations, bone pain, 3 miscarriages, sleep disruption, blurry vision and a severe Vitamin D deficiency. I cut soy OUT of my diet for the last 6 months and all symptoms went away and have stayed away.

I started taking soy isoflavones, 40 mg for hot flashes and insomnia due to menopause. I have always been a good sleeper and need my sleep to feel well. Going into menopause I became very distressed by insomnia coupled with hot flashes. It got to the point it was making me feel physically ill, and was zapping me of all my energy. After about 1 week taking soy I noticed a big decline in the troubling symptoms I was having. After 1 month on soy I am happy to report I sleep well again and am no longer having hot flashes; I feel great again! I would highly recommend soy isoflavones for other women who are having bothersome menopause symptoms. The brand I use is SpringValley 40 mg Soy Isoflavones, Walmart carries them I believe the usual dose is 80 mg, but I get great relief with just 1 40 mg tablet..Read More Read Less

The soy I took (Spring Valley brand from Wal-Mart) was effective in reducing the intensity and number hot flashes I got during the day. However, I have been suffering with extreme irrablity and from the research I've been doing soy does not seem to help with this. So, I'm switching to Maca (I heard this is supposed to help with all perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms).

Using vitamin supplement with 60mg of soy and I am very surprised and happy that my hot flashes have stopped. Notice a difference after 2 weeks and after a month they are complete gone. Very Happy.

I've been drinking soy milk daily for years, but when my menopausal hot flashes came on in a torrent for more than a year, I increased my soy intake with tofu and soy granules, I believe it gradually helped my flashes ease up and disappear for about a year, I reduced my soy intake, but they have come back again, so I'm increasing it. The drawback is that the increased estrogen from soy seems to increase my breast size, which is uncomfortable for me, since I'm already rather large, so I don't want to overdo it, I've also been trying black cohosh but I don't notice any difference from that, other than increased gas. I'm looking through the online evidence and both treatments only have mild indication of helping hot flashes, but it is impossible to get a solid nights sleep with constant flashes. I am also trying to reduce caffeine and alcohol, getting more exercise and some sunshineRead More Read Less

I was raised a vegetarian and at the age of 14 I started eating meats. From the very start of eating meats i can recall that they somehow made me have a strange feeling that was going on in me I had beleived back then that it was enzymes that were being modified in my stomach and in the other body parts such as the liver and that they were just making me feel diffrent somehow. Nowadays, i feel that the meats bring into the body posions that try to modifiy ones own bodys cells. But i have never had any bad reations to vegetarian soy products they always took away the need to eat so much and they satisfied too. I still eat meat occasionally though.Read More Read Less

Until I started to take Soya Isoflavins, I was being woken approx 15 times a night with hot flushes. This left me shattered and unable to concentrate during the day. Throughout the day I lost count of the hot flushes and it became a chore trying to work out what to wear so I didnt get to hot. I am 48years old and have seen friends and mother go through this and never understood how awful it was until it happened to me. I now dont really have the hot flushes and it was (at the most) 2 weeks before I felt the difference. I would definately reccommend taking them (I review everything before I buy any products). I now use 'simply supplements' online to purchase these (400mg) buy one get one free. From JulieRead More Read Less

Taking soy took away constant palpitations, constipation, anxiety - edgy feelings. Helped me to feel strong and relaxed.
