Phytoestrogens (Soy Isoflavones)
for Menopausal Hot Flashes
Dietary soy foods (tofu, tempeh, edamame) or standardised soy isoflavone supplements (40–80mg daily) for menopausal symptom relief.
How it works
Isoflavones bind weakly to oestrogen receptors, providing mild oestrogenic activity that may partially compensate for declining endogenous oestrogen levels.
What to watch for
Effect is modest compared to HRT. Safety for women with oestrogen-sensitive cancers is debated - consult oncologist. Food sources (tofu, tempeh, edamame) may be preferable to supplements.
