Phytoestrogenic compounds isolated from a number of plants, esp. soy and\u00a0red clover.\u00a0 Soy isoflavones and red clover extracts are often added to “women’s” supplements, for prevention of osteoporosis, and treatment of premenstrual\/menopausal symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soy isoflavones have antioxidant activity in-vitro, although their ability to increase plasma antioxidant capacity in humans is questionable<\/a>.\u00a0 Likewise, they appear to have little effect on metabolic parameters in post-menopausal women<\/a>.\u00a0 Variable, and similarly questionable results have been obtained in studies<\/a> on both red clover and soy isoflavones for the relief of hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms.\u00a0\u00a0Effects on bone density are also unclear<\/a> at this time.\u00a0 They may, however, have positive effects on levels of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Phytoestrogenic compounds isolated from a number of plants, esp. soy and\u00a0red clover.\u00a0 Soy isoflavones and red clover extracts are often added to “women’s” supplements, for prevention of osteoporosis, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[123,564,604,651,734,785,832,887,992],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/glossary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
