Menopause and Soy

I found the following article from Revival Soy Bars
I've been eating these bars the last couple of years and definitely noticed a huge difference.


Menopause, Perimenopause, and Postmenopause Discomforts Support*

Menopause is a natural stage of life all women experience as they age. And while it may be normal, it certainly doesn't feel normal. The hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and lack of energy can make menopause one of the most physically and emotionally miserable times in a woman's life. So, let's review what causes menopause, what you can expect, and how soy can help support a more comfortable midlife.

Health Support with Soy?

While soy is not a replacement for prescription medication or HRT, over twenty clinical trials show that soy can help you have a more enjoyable and healthy midlife by lessening hot flashes and other common discomforts of menopause.1-10 Soy consumption has been shown to significantly improve a woman's comfort and health during perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. A medical review in American Family Physician (the journal of the prestigious American Association of Family Physicians) found that soy can significantly improve the discomforts of menopause. A recent Revival clincial trial also showed very positive benefits.

Scientists became very interested in soy's potential role for menopause health support after demographic studies revealed that only 9% of women living in Asia, where the diet is rich in soy, experienced hot flashes during mid-life, in contrast to almost 80 to 90% of Western women who experience menopausal discomforts.

Because soy can support menopausal health, and may also promote normal bone and cholesterol health, many doctors and healthcare providers now recommend soy as part of a healthy midlife strategy.

FACT: Results from a menopausal discomfort study using Revival Soy at a leading medical hospital are very positive. Participants experienced significant improvements in midlife quality of life with daily Revival Soy use (one serving per day). It's that simple and delicious!
