  1. Menopausal Symptoms: Isoflavones, found predominantly in soybeans and soy products, have been studied for their potential to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Some women report a reduction in these symptoms with increased consumption of soy products or isoflavone supplements, although results from studies are mixed.

  2. Bone Health: There is evidence to suggest that dietary isoflavones may have a protective effect on bone health, particularly in postmenopausal women. Isoflavones may help to prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporosis by exerting estrogen-like effects on bone metabolism and density.

  3. Cardiovascular Health: Some research suggests that dietary isoflavones may have cardioprotective effects, including lowering LDL cholesterol levels, improving endothelial function, and reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. However, the evidence is not conclusive, and more research is needed to fully understand the impact of isoflavones on cardiovascular health.

  4. Cancer Risk: Isoflavones have been investigated for their potential role in reducing the risk of certain hormone-related cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. Some studies suggest that isoflavones may exert protective effects against cancer development by inhibiting tumor growth, reducing inflammation, and modulating hormone levels. However, the evidence is inconsistent, and more research is required to establish definitive conclusions.

  5. Hormone-Dependent Conditions: The estrogenic properties of dietary phytoestrogens raise concerns about their potential impact on hormone-dependent conditions such as endometriosis and uterine fibroids. While some studies suggest that phytoestrogens may alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions, others raise concerns about their potential to stimulate estrogen-sensitive tissues and promote tumor growth. More research is needed to understand the effects of phytoestrogens on hormone-dependent conditions.

  6. Thyroid Function: Some evidence suggests that high consumption of isoflavones, particularly from soy products, may interfere with thyroid function and exacerbate hypothyroidism in susceptible individuals. Isoflavones can inhibit thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme involved in thyroid hormone synthesis, although the clinical significance of this effect is still debated.

  7. Reproductive Health: Concerns have been raised about the potential impact of dietary phytoestrogens on male reproductive health, including sperm quality and fertility. Some animal studies suggest that high doses of phytoestrogens may disrupt male reproductive development and function, although human studies have yielded conflicting results.

Impacted of isoflavones {Dietary phytoestrogens} On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by isoflavones {Dietary phytoestrogens}

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of isoflavones {Dietary phytoestrogens} on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
