User Reviews for soy

As a survivor of double breast-cancer, I am horrifed to see you encourage women who have had this disease, to take SOY. It does indeed act like estogen and for this reason, I avoid it like the plague. Any women who has had 'estrogen-positive' cancer has to deter the estrogen-receptors from absorbing that hormone in to the body. The body thinks SOY is estrogen and I was told by my oncologist that "...cancer feeds on estrogen....." (those with the 'estrogen-postive' tumor). So please - let Women know that they have to AVOID SOY at all costs - if they have had the same experience that I did. Thank You. (Mrs.) Sheila Coles.Read More Read Less

gas and bloating

I had a Total Hysterectomy 2 years ago and have been completly miserable. A friend recomended soy vitamins, starting taking them yesterday and for the first time I am not miserable. I actually felt my body core cool down. Was the best nights sleep I've had in 2 years. First day on them and today has been a good day so far. Wished I had known this sooner.

I have had uncontrollable diarrhea for the two weeks I have been on this product. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't coupled with colitis (bloody stool). I have had these intense, sudden bowel movements upwards of 15x a day. There have been times when, at work, I couldn't get to the bathroom on time and soiled my pants. It is unpleasant and embarrassing being a grow woman who has difficulty controlling her bowels.

Soy isoflavone has reduced hot flashes and night sweats and I can sleep thru the night. Mood swings, not so much. Experimented by not taking soy for a week and I noticed a huge difference. Highly recommend soy for hot flashes!

Although taking One a Day Menopause obiterated all my menopausal symptoms, I am now bleeding (light menstral cycle). Very alarming and seems to be related to these vits (soy). Would never suggest to anyone because of this result (no one will confirm, but I truly think the bleeding is a direct result of the vits).

I DECOVERED I HAD OSTEOPOROSIS IN 2007, AND STARTED DRINKING SOY MILK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND IT HAS HELPED ME A LOT, I ALSO TAKE EVISTA ORAL FOR MY BONES I AM 59 YEARS OLD

Suffered hot flashes and night sweats, after 3 weeks of soy tabs. symptoms gone.

I am post menopausal but began drinking soy milk in perimenopause. I have found it to be very effective in taking care of the hot flashes. It has other benefits and tastes great. I drink the Silk brand Original or Vanilla flavor. It's also great for watching carbs, fats and cholesterol.

I have tried black cohash but find the Femme Lean and Balance I get @ Max Muscle work the best for me, which has soy isoflavons in it... no more hot flashes for me!

I have night sweats and am usually tired all day. since using this product. I do not have that problem and I have been out of it for 3 weeks now and I am so irratable and hot flashes, night sweats and tiredness is very evident now. I cant wait to get some more again. I highly recommend this product to any woman who has those kinds of symptoms. This is an awesome product.

I've been premenopausal for at least 18 years, and soy in its various forms has saved me. I typically use a powder and use soy milk as the base for my daily shake. Good for my fibrocystic breast and bones too.

Has anyone tried i-cool yet? It contains genistien. I'm thinking about trying it since Estroven / black cohosh is not working for me.

started taking 8 days after my hysterectomy w/bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Within 2 days, the night sweats had almost disappeared and the hot flashes have lessened in frequency/intensity.

would soy milk work for hot flash?

Soy milk is easy to drink and comes in flavors (chocolate and vanilla) as well as plain. I use it just as I would regular milk, cereal, etc. The benefits outweigh the extra cost. I'm hooked. And by the way, my cholesterol is down over 30 points.

I started using Estroven 6 months after my hysterectomy 13 years agon to ease my hot flashes. The black cohosh in the Estroven made me nauseous and I switched to Soy Balance. Soy Balance is wonderful; I sleep well and have the hot flashes under control.

I've tried Estroven Plus, Black Cohosh, and now up to 160 mg daily of soy tablets. Nothing works for me. Help!

works sometime.

Treatment has not eliminated hot flashes, but I think it has helped reduce their severity.
