Introduction:
Soy isoflavones are known as phytoestrogens(plant estrogens), it can reduce or avoid menopausal syndrome, and provide beneficial effects for the prevention and treatment of breast, colon and cardiovascular diseases.

Depending on the method of processing, many soy foods contain a relatively high content of chemical compounds called isoflavones, which possess weak estrogen-like effects. Under conditions of high estrogen exposure, which may promote certain cancers, the isoflavone compounds tend to block the adverse effects of estrogen and may prevent growth of cancer cells. Under conditions of low estrogen exposure, such as during menopause, the isoflavones tend to act as weak estrogens, which may be just enough to help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, headaches and mood swings.

As a high quality protein source, soy-based protein powders provide an excellent amino acid profile along with the added health benefits for heart health, cancer protection, bone maintenance and, in postmenopausal women, relief from menopausal symptoms. For those women who cannot or choose not to select hormone replacement therapy following menopause, isoflavone supplements may provide an effective alternative to treating some of the symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, headaches, vaginal dryness and mood swings.
