evidence for soy isoflavones

Our honest take

Soy germ concentrate in a vegan capsule: each capsule gives 125 mg of concentrate providing 50 mg of soy isoflavones (mainly daidzein and glycitein, with a little genistein). Soy isoflavones are the most studied plant option for women around the menopause, but results are inconsistent, there are no authorised claims, and we make no claims about the menopause. EFSA found no safety concerns in healthy post-menopausal women at typical doses, but they are not suitable after a hormone-sensitive cancer, so check with your GP first.

You want a single-ingredient soy isoflavone product
You have checked with your GP that it suits you
You have had breast cancer or another hormone-sensitive condition, or take tamoxifen or HRT, unless your specialist agrees
You take levothyroxine (soy can reduce its absorption) or blood thinners
You are allergic to soy, pregnant or breastfeeding

The science

Soy isoflavones· evidence: Limited

Soy isoflavones (genistein, daidzein and glycitein) are plant compounds with a weak oestrogen-like structure. They are widely studied in women around the menopause.

Reviews, including a Cochrane review, find that some trials show small differences compared with placebo and others show none, so the overall picture is inconsistent. There are no authorised health claims for soy isoflavones, so we make no claims about what they do. If menopause symptoms are affecting you, your GP can talk you through options with stronger evidence.

EFSA's 2015 safety assessment found no evidence of harm to the breast, uterus or thyroid in healthy post-menopausal women taking 35 to 150 mg a day for the periods studied.

Typical dose: Products typically give 40 to 100 mg of isoflavones a day.

Safety: Contains soy. Do not use if you have had breast cancer or another hormone-sensitive condition, unless your specialist agrees. Soy can reduce the absorption of levothyroxine, so take them at different times and tell your GP. Not for use in pregnancy, breastfeeding or by children. Speak to your GP if you take HRT, tamoxifen or blood thinners.
