Bone Health
by Gloria Gamat on November 15, 2009
Women, because they get pregnant and give birth, are more prone to bone loss even before menopause. Add post menopausal to that and women are really in trouble bone-loss wise.
Researches on calcium supplementation came to a point that women can still absorb the supplemented calcium in their 40s or was that 50s?
Anyways...
Here's something that may slow bone loss in postmenopausal women: supplementation with soy-germ derived isoflavones. That's according to an American study that involved over 400 postmenopausal women.
Frutarom's SoyLife is a soy germ ingredient rich in isoflavones that is available in the market.

Over 400 postmenopausal women participated in the multicenter, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled two year, which used either 80 or 120 mg of soy hypocotyl aglycone isoflavones (Frutarom’s SoyLife) plus calcium (400 mg) and vitamin D (400 IU).
Only the 120 mg per day produced benefits, with significantly reduced loss of whole body bone mineral density (BMD) after both one and two years.
