Noulega Soy Isoflavones provides a concentrated source of naturally occurring soy isoflavones for adults seeking plant-based nutritional support, with particular relevance to women navigating changing nutritional needs during peri- and post-menopausal life stages.

Soybeans naturally contain a group of compounds called isoflavones. The principal soy isoflavones — genistein, daidzein and glycitein, these are classified as phytoestrogens because their chemical structures allow them to interact with oestrogen receptors.

They are not oestrogen hormones and do not behave identically to endogenous oestrogen. Their biological activity can vary depending on the individual isoflavone, the type of oestrogen receptor involved, the tissue and individual metabolism.

This interaction with oestrogen receptors has made soy isoflavones an extensively researched area of women's midlife nutrition, particularly during the menopausal transition and after menopause.

- Provides 60 mg soy isoflavones per capsule
- Provides the naturally occurring soy isoflavones genistein, daidzein and glycitein
- Supports women's nutritional wellbeing during changing life stages
- Provides plant-derived phytoestrogen nutritional support
- Provides antioxidant activity that helps protect cells against oxidative stress
- Offers a convenient concentrated source of soy isoflavones as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

Soy isoflavones are structurally similar to oestrogen, allowing them to interact with oestrogen receptors, particularly through biological pathways associated with oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ).

Their activity is considerably weaker and more selective than endogenous oestrogen and can differ according to tissue and physiological environment. This is why soy isoflavones are described as phytoestrogens, rather than as hormones themselves.

Isoflavones also possess antioxidant properties, providing an additional nutritional role in helping protect cells against oxidative stress.

Why This Matters

The menopausal transition is a normal life stage accompanied by changes in ovarian hormone production and evolving nutritional considerations.

Soy isoflavones are widely used in women's midlife nutrition and have been extensively researched during the peri- and post-menopausal years.

Noulega Soy Isoflavones provides a concentrated source of these plant-derived compounds for women who choose to incorporate phytoestrogen and antioxidant nutritional support into a broader approach to midlife nutrition and healthy ageing.

Soy isoflavones are not a treatment for menopause or menopausal symptoms, and individual health concerns should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.

- For adult use only.
- Do not exceed the recommended daily serving.
- Contains soy. Do not use if you have a soy allergy or are hypersensitive to any ingredient.
- Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or are taking medication.
- Individuals with a hormone-sensitive condition, a personal history of a hormone-sensitive cancer, or those receiving treatment that affects hormone activity should consult an appropriate healthcare professional before using soy isoflavone supplements.
- Individuals with thyroid disease or those taking thyroid medication should consult a healthcare professional before use. Soy may interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine when consumed around the same time, and appropriate separation may be required.
- Possible Side Effects:
Soy isoflavones are generally well tolerated when used as directed. Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal effects including bloating, nausea, constipation or abdominal discomfort. Allergic reactions may occur in individuals sensitive to soy.
- Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if an adverse reaction occurs.
- Keep out of reach of children.
Storage:
Store below 25 °C in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

- What are soy isoflavones?
Soy isoflavones are naturally occurring plant compounds concentrated in soybeans. The major soy isoflavones include genistein, daidzein and glycitein.

They are classified as phytoestrogens because their structures allow them to interact with oestrogen receptors, although they are not oestrogen hormones.

- Why are soy isoflavones commonly associated with menopause?
Changes in oestrogen production are a normal part of the menopausal transition. Because soy isoflavones interact with oestrogen receptors, they have been extensively studied in peri- and post-menopausal women.

Research has examined areas including menopausal symptoms, bone health, cardiovascular markers and other aspects of women's midlife health. Results vary between studies, and soy isoflavones should not be considered a treatment for menopause or menopausal symptoms.

- Are soy isoflavones hormones?
No. Soy isoflavones are plant-derived phytoestrogens, not human oestrogen hormones.

Their structures allow them to interact with oestrogen receptors, but their activity is weaker and differs from that of endogenous oestrogen.

- How much soy isoflavone does each capsule provide?
Each capsule provides 60 mg soy isoflavones, including genistein, daidzein and glycitein compounds.

- Is this product only for women?
Soy isoflavones are not exclusively female nutrients. However, this Noulega product is particularly relevant to women's life-stage nutrition because soy isoflavones have been extensively researched in relation to peri- and post-menopausal physiology.

- Does this product contain soy?
Yes. Soy is the active ingredient source and an allergen.
Individuals with a soy allergy should not use this product.

- Can I take Soy Isoflavones with thyroid medication?
Soy can affect the absorption of levothyroxine when consumed around the same time. If you use thyroid medication, consult your healthcare professional or pharmacist regarding whether soy isoflavone
supplementation is appropriate and how it should be timed.

- Can Soy Isoflavones cause side effects?
Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal effects such as bloating, nausea, constipation or abdominal discomfort. Individuals allergic to soy may experience an allergic reaction and should not use the product.
