Cognitive function of soybean extract

Soy isofalvones in soybean extract have distinctive curative effect for treating breast carcinoma, women's climacteric syndrome, prostate cancer, heart disease, cardio vascular vessel disease and osteoporosis.

Cognitive function of soybean extract:

Two pharmacology researchers at the University of Southern California undertook a review of existing scientific literature about the impact of soy isoflavone supplementation on cognitive function. Their review covered eight 2000-2007 studies, including seven that were restricted to postmenopausal women.

Of these studies, four indicated isoflavones had positive effects on cognitive function, while the other four were either equivocal or showed no significant benefit from soy isoflavones. Researchers attributed the conflicting conclusions of the studies to a variety of factors, including variations in the makeup of isoflavone intervention and the heterogeneity of study populations.

In view of the indications that isoflavones may help improve cognitive function, researcher called for a carefully designed clinical study based on a standardized supplement. Writing in the November 2007 issue of “Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics,” they said such a study, conducted among a well-characterized study population, should enable researchers to reach a clinical consensus.
